The seven year management contract between the Wilton Rancheria of Northern California and Boyd Gaming was approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission on October 31.
The tribe plans a casino in Elk Grove on 36 acres that was put into trust in 2017 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Last year the legislature approved a Class III tribal state gaming compact that will allow the tribe to build a $400 million casino resort about 20 miles from the state capital of Sacramento.
Financing still needs to be secured for the project. A groundbreaking has not yet been announced.
