Wild Goose Casino

About Wild Goose Casino

Wild Goose Casino is a 7-table house-banked card casino at 1600 Currier Street in Ellensburg, Washington. The property opened in 2004 and is operated by Ellensburg Gaming, Inc. under license from the Washington State Gambling Commission. The room sits roughly halfway between Seattle and the Tri-Cities along I-90, which makes it the default poker stop for travelers crossing Snoqualmie Pass and the natural option for Central Washington University students and Kittitas County residents.

The 18+ minimum age and small footprint position Wild Goose as a casual rather than a destination property. Players researching alternatives across the state should see our Washington casinos directory and the Ellensburg listings. For the closest tribal floor with slot machines, Legends Casino at Yakima Nation sits about an hour south.

Games on the Floor

The 7-table pit covers Washington-format dealer-banked games: blackjack with Match the Dealer side bet, 3 Card Poker, Pai Gow, High Card Flush, and Texas Hold’em Poker as a dealer game. The dedicated poker room runs three tables and spreads Spread Limit Hold’em (the Washington-specific format), Texas Hold’em cash games, and tournaments at a posted weekly cadence.

★ Editor note

A useful I-90 stop, not a destination

Wild Goose Casino is a 22-year-old neighbourhood card room and a real fixture in Ellensburg, but it is a stop along the route rather than a reason to make the drive. Players coming through Snoqualmie Pass for poker or a quick session of Pai Gow will get an honest game; visitors hunting slot floors, a sportsbook, or a hotel should keep heading toward [Snoqualmie Casino](/washington/snoqualmie/snoqualmie-casino/) on the west side or [Legends Casino at Yakima Nation](/washington/toppenish/legends-casino-at-yakima-nation/) to the south.

The casino runs an on-site restaurant and offers free self-parking. There is no hotel, no slot machines (Washington card-room rule), and no sportsbook on the floor. The property is a fit for a quick session rather than an overnight trip.
