North Fork Mono Casino Opens to Public in Madera
The North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians opened its North Fork Mono Casino to the general public on Wednesday at 17770 Golden State Blvd. in Madera, adjacent to State Route 99 between the Avenue 17 and Avenue 18½ exits. The $750 million facility features a 100,000-square-foot gaming floor with more than 2,400 slot machines, 40 table games, two restaurants, six food court options, and 4,000 parking spaces. Tribal Chairwoman Elaine Bethel-Fink said the project has created nearly 1,500 casino positions since groundbreaking in September 2024, with additional spin-off jobs expected. The tribe estimates more than $2 billion in aggregate economic impact over 20 years through community agreements, wages, goods purchases, and increased local tax revenues.
