Eagle Mountain Casino Review Jump to comments

In April 2021, the Tule River Indian Tribe broke ground on the new, full-service Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, California. The casino that opened in 1996 was located on the Tule River Reservation in the foothills. The new venue moved approximately 17 miles down the mountain near the Porterville Municipal Airport on a 40-acre site, off Highway 65, next to the Porterville Fairgrounds. Two years after the groundbreaking, the casino opened on April 19, 2023, at a cost of $180-$200 million. The official grand opening/phase one was held on May 9th, 2023. 

The new Eagle Mountain Casino is 105,000 square feet with approximately 1,750 slot and video poker machines, 20 table games, a 2,000-seat event center, two bars (alcohol is new here), and a variety of dining options including a diner, food court, coffee house and steakhouse. Smoking is allowed on the casino floor but there is a non-smoking section on the casino floor as well. 

Phase II of the project will add a new 111,000 SF, 125-key hotel with a 20,000 SF banquet and conference space. The hotel will also feature a destination pool and an on-site brewery that are scheduled to open in 2025.
