Property History
La Jolla Slot Arcade operated as a limited gaming property with 75 slot machines. The “slot arcade” format was a small-scale gaming operation that predated the full tribal casino development that expanded in California following the passage of Proposition 1A in 2000. The arcade operated seasonally and closed in August 2004.
The La Jolla Band subsequently developed the Pauma Valley area’s gaming options through the La Jolla Trading Post Casino, a separate venture listed on their website.
The Highway 76 corridor today is served by other tribal gaming properties in the San Pasqual, Rincon, and Valley Center areas of California.
