Horrible horrible place.
Horrible horrible place. I purchased three tickets to "Three Dog Night" for June 14th. No where was it mentioned as a 21 and over show. In fact with an old mellow band from the 1970's it's a sure family show. We arrived for our big night and in two cars as my wife was going to take my 13 year old daughter behind and let me gamble after the show. They stopped her at door of concert room and told her she could not enter. She was devastated. I was, and remain, PIS-SED OFF. The BS story they provide was since the place served alcohol they could not let her in. Pure 100% Bull F'ing S#it. The restaurants in the building are happy to serve all three of us and they serve alcohol. Now lets expand on what a "Tribal Casino " really is; It is a racist business that makes up whatever rules they want. Anywhere but "the reservation" and the minimum wage in California is $12 an hour. The tribe on the other hand chooses to ignore state law in this instance and instead pays many workers the Federal minimum wage of $7.75 an hour. If you are not the "anointed race" (Tribal Indian) you are barred from owning a casino with the games the tribes offer. Got to be the right race? The Germans had a similar policy in the 1930's and early 1940's The tribes will claim "We are our own nation" when it suits them but have no problem ALSO claiming every benefit of being a California resident when that suits them. Imagine if we bared black people from owning, as an example, a McDonald's or barred white people from being eligible for the NBA or NFL! There would be civil rights marches in the streets as there well should be. Yet this is standard operation procedure for the "tribes" I could go on for hours; Simple fact: DO NOT support these racist gambling institutions. Go to the state of Nevada or a California non tribal cardroom where they follow state law without claiming "tribal privilege" every time state law does not suit them. Gold Country Casino is a place I will never return to. I'd rather burn my money in an open fire than set foot on the property again.
