Where Cocopah Resort Casino Sits

Cocopah Resort Casino opened in 2003 and operates as a 24-hour tribal resort property in Somerton, Arizona, owned by the Cocopah Indian Tribe. The property sits at 15268 South Avenue B, on Cocopah Indian Tribe reservation lands a short drive south of Yuma. The southwestern-corner-of-Arizona location pulls visitors from Yuma, the Imperial Valley side of California, and northern Baja, which gives the floor a different mix than the more inland Phoenix-area properties.

The gaming floor carries 505 slot machines, 4 table games, a bingo section, and video poker. The 4-table pit is small, with blackjack as the headline live game. The minimum gambling age is 21 and the casino is regulated by the Arizona Department of Gaming under the tribal-state compact.

On the Gaming Floor

The slot floor at Cocopah Resort Casino runs 505 machines across various denominations. Video poker is offered as part of the electronic gaming mix for players who prefer the machine-skill format over reel slots.

Bingo runs as a separate section with its own schedule, providing a slower-paced lottery-style option.

The 4 live table games are anchored by blackjack, with the specific carnival or side-game spread varying by day. At a 4-table pit, the property is a slot-and-bingo venue first and a table-game venue second.

For visitors comparing southwestern Arizona casinos, Cocopah Resort Casino sits in the mid-sized tier: smaller than the major Phoenix-area properties, larger than the standalone small-town slot rooms. The 24-hour schedule supports both day-trip visitors from Yuma and overnight guests at the on-site hotel.

Resort Amenities

Cocopah Resort Casino integrates the gaming floor with a working resort stack. The on-site hotel is the central non-gaming amenity, supported by a swimming pool, a restaurant, a bar, and retail shops. Both valet and self-parking are available, and the property is set up for ADA accessibility.

The amenity mix puts Cocopah in the mid-tier of Arizona casino resorts: a full overnight property without the multi-restaurant complex you’d see at the largest destination resorts. That tier suits the property’s role as the regional gaming and lodging anchor for the Yuma-area market.

Players Club

Cocopah Resort Casino runs a points-and-rewards-club loyalty program. Members earn points through slot, video poker, and table-game play, redeemable for promotional offers and free play. Enrollment is handled at the players club desk on the gaming floor.

The program supports the property’s regular-visitor base by tying play history to ongoing benefits. New visitors who plan to play for any meaningful session should sign up before starting, since unearned play loses tier credit retroactively under most casino rewards programs.

Location & Access

Cocopah Resort Casino is at 15268 South Avenue B in Somerton, Arizona, on Cocopah Indian Tribe reservation lands south of Yuma. Somerton sits roughly 10 miles south of central Yuma along US-95, putting the casino within easy reach of Yuma residents and travelers from the Imperial Valley side of California. The Arizona-California-Mexico border converges in this region, which broadens the casino’s catchment beyond a typical city-edge property.

Self-parking is available alongside valet for guests who prefer it. The southwestern corner of Arizona stays warm to hot most of the year, which keeps the resort amenity stack (especially the pool) in active use across more seasons than the higher-elevation Flagstaff-area properties.

How Cocopah Resort Casino compares locally

Cocopah Indian Tribe Context

Cocopah Resort Casino is owned and operated by the Cocopah Indian Tribe, a federally recognized tribe with reservation lands in southwestern Arizona near the confluence of the Colorado River and the Mexican border. The tribe operates the resort as part of its economic-development portfolio, alongside additional Cocopah Indian Tribe enterprises in the Yuma area.

Gaming at Cocopah Resort Casino runs under a compact between the Cocopah Indian Tribe and the State of Arizona, authorized by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. The Arizona Department of Gaming provides state-side oversight. Gaming revenue supports Cocopah tribal government operations, community programs, and economic development for enrolled tribal members.
