About Sycuan Casino Resort

Sycuan Casino Resort is run by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation in El Cajon, east of San Diego. It grew out of a bingo hall that opened on the reservation in 1983, and a hotel and casino expansion opened in March 2019. The floor has more than 2,500 slot machines and about 80 gaming tables, plus poker and over 10 restaurants and bars. Guests must be 21 or older to enter.
