Owned and operated by the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, the casino first opened in 1985. There are currently 40 tribal members, and of those, 20 are voting members, meaning they are over the age of 18. Clarke Broadcasting met with Lloyd Mathiesen, who was recently re-elected to a new three-year term as Tribal Chairman, to hear about current and long-term plans.

As part of an expansion of gaming, 247 machines were added, and nine tables; four blackjack, a couple of double decks, and Ultimate Texas Shuffle. The casino now has 600-plus machines.

To help with traffic flow in and out of the casino, the tribe continues to work with Caltrans to plan for a roundabout on Highway 108. Construction on the roundabout and a new casino is tentatively planned for completion by the end of 2023.
