Pauma Casino

Overview

Pauma Casino is operated by the Pauma Band of Luiseño Indians in the mountains of San Diego County near the small community of Pauma Valley. The property is a boutique-scale alternative to the larger resort casinos of Southern California, offering a more personal and less crowded gaming experience for guests seeking an escape from the scale of properties like Pechanga or Harrah's Southern California.

The Pauma Reservation sits in the scenic foothills east of Palomar Mountain, surrounded by avocado orchards and small farms characteristic of the San Diego inland valleys. The casino caters primarily to the local community and gaming enthusiasts seeking a friendly, unpretentious gaming atmosphere.

Gaming

The casino features approximately 600 slot and gaming machines alongside live table games including blackjack and poker. The intimate scale means short waits for tables and a more social gaming environment than the mega-resorts of the region.

Getting There

Located at 777 Pauma Reservation Rd, Pauma Valley, CA 92061, off CA-76 (Pala Road). Approximately 50 miles north of downtown San Diego. Complimentary self-parking available.
