North Fork Mono Casino Nears Opening Amid Legal Dispute

The $725 million North Fork Mono Casino & Resort in Madera County, California, is approaching its anticipated opening as gaming equipment arrives, recruitment continues and preparations shift toward operating the property. However, a legal dispute with a neighboring tribal gaming operator remains unresolved, leaving the project’s launch dependent on whether a federal court intervenes. The North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians has continued developing the casino despite losing previous court challenges over the approvals for its off-reservation gaming operations.
