“When our tribe set out in 1986 to build a bingo hall, we believed that if we could provide opportunities for our Tribal Community, our team members and our guests, we would secure a better future for our people. Now in 2021, with the opening of the new expansion, we continue to prioritize our team, our guests and our community building on the strength of the past,” said Ken Ramirez, Chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. From there, San Manuel Casino has continued to grow as it became one of the top entertainment destinations in Southern California. San Manuel Casino initially opened as a bingo hall on July 24, 1986, but in 1994 expanded into a 100,000 square foot casino that featured slot machines and card games. Two brand-new floors of expanded gaming space will feature more than 1,500 additional slot machines, a new high-limit gaming room, new dining options, three new bars, and three luxury retail shops. (July 21, 2021) – After 35 years of delighting customers with premier entertainment, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will celebrate San Manuel Casino’s 35 th anniversary by unveiling the first phase of the highly-anticipated resort expansion project on July 24, 2021.
