A ceremony marked the beginning of a $1 billion expansion of the Graton Resort and Casino just outside Rohnert Park.
The $825 million casino, owned and operated by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria on its 254-acre reservation, opened in 2013 with 3,000 slot machines, 144 blackjack, poker and baccarat tables, and several restaurants to cater to visitors around the clock. A 200-room hotel, convention space and ballroom opened in 2018.
The addition of up to 2,000 additional slots would give the facility the second-largest slot floor in the state.
