Southern California Casinos

Here are all the Indian casinos and cardrooms in Southern California. Casinos and cardrooms in SoCal range from casino resorts with suites, golf courses, spas, pools, bowling, theaters, restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping outlets, wedding chapels. Gambling options include slots, bingo, poker, blackjack, and other table games.

Native American Indian California Casinos differ from Vegas style casinos. They have all of your favorite casino games like Roulette, Blackjack, Slots, Poker, Texas Hold’em, Pai Gow, and more. However, California does not allow sports gambling, dice or spinning games e.g. craps and roulette. Some casinos offer a form of craps and roulette by using card based systems with similar odds.

Sports Betting in California

Currently there are two up for vote in the November 2022 election that would legalize sports betting.

  • Prop 26: Tribal Sports Wagering Act
    • Would allow tribal casinos and the state’s four horse race tracks to offer in-person sports betting. It would also allow tribal casinos to expand their gambling offerings to roulette and dice games.
  • Prop 27: California Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Act
    • Led by FanDuel and DraftKings it would legalize mobile or online sports betting outside of Native American lands, and allow gaming companies to offer online sports betting if they partner with a tribe.
