While traffic has calmed since the Graton Resort & Casino opened on Nov. The true impact, however, has been more subtle - and more potent - than many had anticipated. Advocates countered it would unleash an economic tidal wave that would create jobs, fill government coffers and lift the fortunes of a tribe whose traditional lands were taken away by Congress more than 150 years ago. Thousands of people clogged Highway 101 and side streets to experience the debut of the $825 million Las Vegas-style gambling hub, built in a former cow pasture in a collaboration between a Nevada casino giant and a once-destitute Native American tribe.Ĭritics warned the 320,000-square-foot facility would lead to sharp increases in traffic, crime and personal bankruptcies while damaging the region’s environment and depleting its groundwater supply.

But for now the Casino is experiencing loss of money that most of us experience every week.Five years ago, the largest casino in the Bay Area threw open its doors on the western outskirts of Rohnert Park amid much fear - and hope - about the ways it would change Sonoma County.

Until Graton discloses it's annual pay back percentage on slot machines, I will not be in favor of the non-disclosure and the company will continue to make several millions off of us and pay little of that back to us other than the required annual Rhonert Park deal made of $8,000,000.00 to the city for being able to build the casino. Walk around Graton Casino and look for hand pays and you just might be lucky after a few hours but maybe a few.

Sure some of your high rollers who either played a max bet or bet $15.00 or more wind up on a billboard add holding a wad of money by hitting a progressive jack pot.

It is karma time for Graton from all of us that spend hundreds of dollars a week and loose it all to slots that do not pay back enough to win more money than we spent. Many loosing over $500,000.00 of their money because your business model low slot pay back which is purposely made secret to the public because of state gaming laws say you are not required to disclose. 3/22/20 Well Graton Resort Casino, with the closure since the first time opening in 2011, your company and directors can feel the financial losses your casino has made to many people who play your slots.
