The planned development includes gaming devices; table games, such as Blackjack and Pai Gow; an indoor-outdoor patio; and dining and entertainment venues. It is estimated at $27 million, and the tribe hopes to have the casino in operation by next spring.
The Dry Creek Band of Pomo Indians is a federally recognized tribe that has entered a gaming compact with Gov. Gray Davis that authorizes the tribe to conduct Class III gaming on its tribal lands. Dry Creek Casinos LLC is a group of gaming operators, architects, land planners and engineers. UWIN is the primary owner, controlling 51% of the LLC. Other members include Jenkins Entertainment Group LLC; Wintun Lodge LLC; and Pathways Consulting LLC.
The Dry Creek Casino's development and loan agreement with the tribe was ratified by the Tribal Council recently. For footing the bill, Dry Creek Casinos will get 20% of the casino's net income. A source with Dry Creek Casino's tells GlobeSt.com both the tribe and Dry Creek Casinos are excited about this project, as the area has "tremendous potential and little competition." UWIN president H. Thomas Winn says his company is committed to developing three new gaming projects over the next five years.
