Slot Machines and Table Games

The gaming floor at Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino holds 2,000 slot machines, making the slot machines at Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino the centerpiece of the gaming operation. The table game spread includes Blackjack, Electronic Blackjack, Electronic Keno, Off-Track Betting, Racebook, Spanish 21, and Video Poker across 40 positions.

Spanish 21 is a blackjack variant that removes all tens from the shoe and compensates with bonus payouts for specific natural combinations, including a five-card 21, six-card 21, and suited combinations. The removal of tens increases the house edge on the base game, but the bonus structure and liberal doubling rules alter the overall strategy and expected value profile relative to standard blackjack.

Electronic Keno provides a rapid-cycle, video-terminal keno game available around the clock. Off-Track Betting and the Racebook give Fantasy Springs a horse racing wagering product that is unusual among California tribal casino resorts and adds a sports-adjacent betting dimension to the property.

Resort Amenities

Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino operates a golf course, restaurant, self-parking, and valet parking on site. The full detected amenity set includes a hotel, golf, bingo, concerts and entertainment, a nightclub, buffet dining, retail shopping, an arcade, and bowling—an unusually broad stack for a Coachella Valley casino property. The combination positions Fantasy Springs as a multi-day destination for visitors who want gaming, entertainment, and golf in a single resort complex.

How Fantasy Springs compares locally

★ Editor note

The Coachella Valley's most fully loaded entertainment casino

Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino packages more amenities than most Indio-area properties — golf, concerts, nightclub, bowling, arcade, a racebook, and a 2,000-machine slot floor under one roof. The Player's Club and active promotions page give regular visitors ongoing reasons to return. The one gap for serious gamblers: live poker doesn't appear in our data, so Hold'em players should call ahead.
