Project Next Steps

In order to offer gambling as part of the Facility, a state gaming compact (agreement) must be approved by California's Governor and ratified by the California Legislature. On October 3, 2017, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 1606, ratified by the State Legislature on August 31, 2017, approving a tribal-state gaming compact entered into between the State of California and the Wilton Rancheria Tribe.
