Mono Wind Casino, Native American casino in Auberry, United States.
Mono Wind Casino is a gaming facility located in the foothills near the Sierra Nevada mountains with approximately 10,000 square feet of gaming space. The property features slot machines, table games, and an on-site restaurant serving food and beverages.
The facility opened after the Big Sandy Rancheria Band of Western Mono Indians signed a gaming compact with California in 1998. This agreement formed the legal foundation that made the operation possible.
The casino reflects economic efforts by the Big Sandy Rancheria Band of Western Mono Indians in the region. Visitors experience a business run by and for the local community.
The casino sits in a mountainous area with variable weather, so dress appropriately depending on the season when you visit. The location is best reached by car since the region is not densely populated.
Mono Wind was shut down in 2005 by Fresno County Sheriff's deputies to collect a $700,000 court judgment, then reopened once an agreement was reached. The tribe has also proposed a second casino site, but the project has never moved beyond the proposal stage.
