About Elwha River Casino
Elwha River Casino is a small tribal gaming property at 631 Stratton Road in Port Angeles, Washington, opened in 2009 and operated by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe on the tribe’s reservation lands along the Elwha River. The property sits west of downtown Port Angeles and inside the rough orbit of Olympic National Park’s northern gateway, drawing both reservation residents and the steady tourist trade that arrives via the Coho ferry from Victoria, BC.
The Washington State Gambling Commission regulates Class III gaming under the Lower Elwha Klallam compact, with a minimum gambling age of 21. The directory marks the property’s data confidence as LOW, so visitors should call ahead at (360) 452-3005 or email info@elwharivercasino.com to confirm current hours, particularly around the seasonal Olympic tourism cycle.

A small Olympic Peninsula floor with one job
Elwha River Casino is a 120-machine slot venue and not much more. There are no table games, no live poker room, no on-site lodging, and no sportsbook. For visitors driving the Olympic Peninsula loop or arriving in Port Angeles on the Victoria ferry, it slots in as a quick 30 to 60 minute stop rather than a destination. If you want a longer Peninsula gaming visit, pair it with 7 Cedars Casino in Sequim, which has a fuller floor and on-site amenities.

On the Floor
The gaming floor lists 120 machines, all slot-style under Class III rules. There are no table games or live poker, which keeps the visit simple. The casino’s promotions page lists ongoing offers; the events calendar covers occasional concerts, which is consistent with the detected feature set in our directory. Sportsbook activity is legal in Washington under tribal retail compacts, but Elwha River Casino does not operate a sportsbook.
Games Available
Amenities
Amenities at Elwha River Casino are minimal: self-parking is available and the property runs an events calendar with occasional concert programming. There is no attached hotel, no spa, and no live table games. The directory captures a dining-info page on the property website but no full-service restaurant amenity is listed; visitors should expect light dining options at most.

Quick stop, nothing fancy
Stopped here on a Peninsula loop drive. Small casino, slots only, parking was easy. Did not see a real restaurant on site but there was a snack counter. Tried a few machines for half an hour, hit a small win, called it a night. Nice enough but not a destination by itself.
