I went to Jackson as soon as I turned eighteen. They have plenty of tables and slots so you don;t have to wait to spend your money. They also have a program where if you sign up they give you $5 which can come in handy when youre gambling

I remember about 8 years ago, I used to play and enjoy myself a lot because I can play for long time with a little amount of money now days is imposible to have fun because those machines takes your money in 30 minutes if your lucky, is no more fun, plus is so many people asking you for money and is people that you never saw in your life that's bad

The Rancheria has plenty to do! Of course they have the gambling, but they also have several really good restaurants.

Bud's Burgers has an excellent burger and it's quick.

The Raging River has a good buffet and a newly expanded menu with some delicioius new sandwiches.

You can get a pizza at the Italian restaurant. You can get an authentic Indian Fry Bread taco and they have a Vietnamese restaurant as well.

Plenty to choose from

My husband and I took a mini vacation through California's Gold Country. We decided to find a place to stay that was centrally located...Jackson was the perfect place. Lucky for us it is the home of Jackson Rancheria's Casino and Resort. Our room was beautiful and quiet, with a large very comfortable bed, satallite TV, hair dryer, coffee maker, and room service, for breakfast in bed! The hotel staff was extremely friendly and efficient. My husband took advantage of the pool while I enjoyed a leisurely scented soak in the tub (the casino gift store has a great selection of toiletries). Dinner at the River Rapids Restuarant week-end buffet offered a great selection of seafood, roasted meats, ham, salads, sides and dessert all presented by a friendly staff. Unfortunately at this time the hotel/casino was experiencing staffing problems which lead to limited 24 hour services (for instance, no room service after 11:00PM and one 24 hour cafe), but we had a great time playing at casino games (and winning!) well into the morning. The casino is large and offers plenty of slots, roulette and table games, even on a Saturday night we were able to find plenty of choices in all areas of gaming. And they have an arcade for the under 18 year olds. Get driving instructions because it's a bit off the beaten track but once you know where you're headed it's easy to access off Highway 49 or Highway 88. And check out their suites, awesome!...we will stay in one of them during our next visit. A couple of drawbacks, the handicapped parking is not convenient, it's a bit of a walk to the casino from the hotel (shuttle service is available) and the bathroom dressing area is painted a yellow hue and the light cover was partially yellow which makes for some interesting skin color. While this is still a newly built casino and they are working on the amenities, kudos to Jackson Rancheria on a job well done. And great place to stay while you explore California's Gold Rush history.

They've added a lot of things here, it's not just about the gambling. Shows here are great, with top-name acts. The food is pretty good too. The staff is really attentive as well. A con is that there's a lot of smoking going on, and that's kinda nasty if you're not used to it. There are smoke free areas, but does smoke really stay were you want it to?
