About Cahuilla Creek Casino

On the Gaming Floor
Cahuilla Creek Casino operates 300 gaming machines including slot machines as the primary electronic gaming option.
Electronic blackjack rounds out the gaming mix alongside the table games.
Video poker is available as a separate electronic option for players who prefer the machine-skill format. The electronic blackjack format is standard for California tribal casinos, where the gaming floor typically prioritizes machine-based gaming.
The 24/7 schedule supports both local Anza Valley regulars and visitors passing through the area on CA-371. Five table games alongside 300 machines gives the property a working pit section appropriate to its market size.
