"any move to proceed at this time would come despite a clear warning from the federal court overseeing the matter that Scotts Valley would be 'ill-served' by relying on the temporary restoration of gaming eligibility while the Department completes its reconsideration, which the Court has directed be conducted expeditiously and thoroughly. The preview casino would be located at 200 Columbus Parkway in Vallejo and would represent a teaser for what's to come from Scotts Valley."
"It was back in Spring of 2025 when two Native American tribes filed a federal lawsuit to try and stop the big casino project planned for Vallejo, by the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians. At the time, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and the Kletsel Dehe Nation of the Cortina Rancheria, both Patwin tribes, say the Bureau of Indian Affairs did not follow the proper process when it approved handing over the land to Scotts Valley."
Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, Lytton Rancheria of California, and the United Auburn Indian Community expressed serious concern about a temporary preview casino planned at 200 Columbus Parkway in Vallejo. The preview would precede a proposed 160-acre casino project with residences, a tribal administration building, parking, and a 45-acre biological preserve, while full project plans remain uncertain. Two tribes filed a federal lawsuit in Spring 2025 alleging the Bureau of Indian Affairs did not follow proper process in approving land transfer. There are additional concerns about proximity to historic Patwin village sites and a court warning against proceeding during reconsideration.
