Ione Band casino receives final state approval, compact

The new casino will be the third tribal casino in Amador County. It will be located 15 miles northwest of Jackson Rancheria Casino and 16 miles north of Harrah's Northern California Casino.

Final Federal Approval
The tribe received federal approval for the casino in April 2020. As the final step in the federal process, the U.S. Department of Interior agreed to transfer 220 acres of tribal-owned land into federal trust for the purpose of building a casino.

Final State Approval
The tribe received state approval for the casino on Aug. 3, 2020 when Gov. Newsom signed a gaming compact between the tribe and the state. The compact grants the tribe the rights to operate up to 1,200 slot machines, any or all card and table games that are legal in the state, and off-track horse race wagering.

Tribal chairperson Sara Dutschke released this statement following Gov. Newsom's signing of the compact:

'On behalf of the Ione Band of Miwok Indians, I would like to thank Governor Newsom and his staff for their hard work and dedication as we worked to achieve this important milestone, particularly in light of the state's many responsibilities addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, This is an exciting time for our Tribe, and we look forward to continuing to foster a strong and prosperous government-to-government relationship with the State of California and Amador County.'

'This milestone is a critical step in establishing long-term economic self-sufficiency and prosperity for our people. This opportunity will not only improve the quality of life for our Tribe, but also allow us to bring hundreds of competitive career opportunities and economic viability to our community. Revenue generated will be used to support our Tribe's social and educational programs, housing, healthcare and the preservation of cultural resources; things we have struggled to maintain and provide our members for generations.'

New Sacramento-area Indian casino land approved by Fed

April 6, 2020

Last week the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs officially notified the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of approval by the U.S. Interior Department to transfer 220 acres of tribal land into federal trust. The transfer will grant tribal sovereignty to the land and federal authorization for an Indian gaming casino.

'For the Ione Band this isn't just about the development of a gaming operation, this is really about restoring the land base we can use to support our members in the futrure,' tribal Chairwoman Sara Dutschke said in a telephone interview. 'We've waited a very long time for this.'

Since announcing its casino plans back in 2006, the tribe has continually fought court battles and opposition from activists groups to reach this point in the approval process.

When the casino is built, it will be the third Indian casino in Amador County - joining Harrah's Northern California Casino and Jackson Rancheria Casino.
