On October 22, the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians held a ribbon-cutting for its expanded Rolling Hills Casino & Resort near Corning, California.
The 15-month expansion added 60,000 square feet of gaming space—an increase of 40 percent—as well as 30,000 square feet to the event area. The exterior and hotel rooms have been remodeled. The expansion allows for 10 new gaming tables and 80 new high-denomination slots.
Four new restaurants have also been added, including the Rock & Brews Restaurant, Fatburger, 628 Steakhouse, and Paskenta Brewery & Distillery.
Pashkenta Tribal Chairman Andrew “Dru” Alejandre, declared, “We are excited to offer our guests more entertainment and dining options at the Rolling Hills Casino and Resort.”
He added, “Most importantly, this expansion has allowed us to drive economic progress in the region through the creation of new jobs, which supports our tribe’s goal of building a sustainable future for our people and our surrounding communities. We are grateful for our tribal members, team members, community and valued guests for their continued support.”
The tribe broke ground on the project in 2019, which also marked the 25th anniversary of its federal recognition.
