Sky River Casino: 24/7 Casino with Lots to Do!!! Sky River Casino is open 24 hours, but guests must be 21+. Opened in August 2022, it's huge, with 2,500 slot machines, 81 table games, 18 restaurants and bars, and bright screens and lights everywhere. Parking: Free, with a large covered garage (1,600 spaces) plus outdoor parking. Valet is also available. Restrooms: Clean, bright, and well maintained. FOOD: The Market has 10 food spots with everything from street tacos and sushi to pizza and desserts. Most close around 10pm, but the breakfast counter is open 24 hours. Non-alcoholic drinks like coffee, water, and soft drinks are complimentary while actively playing. Free alcohol isn't provided on the casino floor. I was impressed to learn that players have already won more than $5.7 million in table-game jackpots this year! There's also a big expansion underway since April 2026, with a new 300-room hotel, luxury spa and salon, Vegas-style outdoor pool, and botanical atrium coming. Birthday perks: Up to $1,000 in Free Play through Swipe & Win, a $5 dining credit, plus a chance to win $250 in Free Slot Play through the monthly drawing. ***Biggest downside for me: Smoking is allowed throughout the casino floor, with no designated non-smoking area. The lingering cigarette smell can be pretty strong. Cannabis smoking is prohibited. They also host events like Ladies Night at the Humidor with bourbon and cigars, plus live DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. Overall, a huge casino with plenty of food, entertainment, and amenities, but the smoke is definitely a dealbreaker for me. read more

Yelo says, "How would you rate your experience?" I bought in for blackjack single deck $25 minimum for $600. I only one 1 hand in total after playing not even 20 hands of $25-100 bets. I could not win a single hand. I won 2 hands in total which was an 88 split and another hand where dealer busted. Other than that I lost every single hand. Even the dealer told me, "I didn't even give you a chance." Yeah that's how you don't get a tip either. (Nahh I would have if I won). Crazy crazy blackjack experience. I've never encountered anything like it. I cut the deck, and 2 others did too. It didn't matter. Luck was on the dealer's side tonight. So how would I rate my experience for my 2nd time here since they first opened? A pretty one and I probably won't come back read more

It's been a while since my last visit, and one of the biggest improvements I noticed was the new parking garage. There is plenty of parking now, which makes visiting much more convenient. They've also opened a new gaming section that is smaller and tucked away from the main casino floor. I liked having the option to play in a quieter area away from the larger crowds. The casino itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a good variety of games. The bar also had a great selection of drinks. I also noticed they're working on opening a hotel, which is an exciting addition. It will be nice to have the option to stay on-site once it's completed. I don't visit casinos very often, but this is one of the few that I genuinely enjoy. It's clean, modern, and has a nice atmosphere. I had a great experience and would definitely come back to see how everything comes together once the hotel opens. read more

Very clean casino. Restrooms were clean and smell good. Many choices for food. Housekeeping was walking around sanitizing and cleaning by the machines, Which is nice. The smell of smoke is pretty strong in main casino area. Machines were pretty tight was there a few hours and the bonus would only pay out 10.00 on any machine. read more

Since it's only about 33 miles from home, me and my friends love coming here.. even when we're not all in the mood to gamble. It's still always a good time! The bar is a vibe, especially on nights with DJs. Tons of new machines, card tables, and plenty of jackpots to keep things exciting . Love the middle bar section. Big open area, great to gather. Oh and the cigar lounge!! Enjoying a cigar and old fashioned with friends is always a vibe!! read more

We always have a great time. We had dinner at 32 Brews Street and Jeff as always, did a fantastic job serving us. The food is great. The atmosphere is great and the gambling was great. Every week the casino floor seems to have new games. Many of my friends have switched from TVC and Red Hawk. It always seems clean and the staff are just excellent. We are looking forward to the Hotels, more restaurants, and the entertainment venue. read more

This was my second time here. The first time I didn't do so good. This time I did a lot better! They have some okay slots, most of the ones I wanted to play was already took. Tbh I didn't really get to explore any food places in there. Just went to the rest room, rewards place to get a card, and the bar. I didn't get any pics of the slots and tables cus I was busy playing but I did notice the restroom using some good brands or name brands. Like their sink is Dyson. Their toilet paper is cottenelle and their paper towels is Scott! And I also appreciate the fact their restroom stall doors ain't got no gaps to where I don't have to feel like someone watching me pee lol. They had a good amount of kiosk and the machines to redeem ur tickets. The table games was in the center and slots all around. It was fun cus I left a winner lmao read more

I only come here for food and maybe attend a show/event. I don't gamble. First impression when you walk in the door is, you see security. There is a smoke smell mixed with some air freshener. The place looks clean. They have quite a few restaurants on the property. The restaurants are all different. There are some bars, some fine dining, and casual. The parking lot is pretty big, but it's pretty full. Might have a walk to the door. read more

We had so much fun here. When you walk in they ID you and you can walk over to the service desk and get a card. We had fun playing many of the machines and tables. We even won a few hundred dollars which is not typical because we feel that we never win. We had lunch at a burger place. The burgers were so delicious. We had drinks at the bar and the bar tender was very friendly and speedy. They have other little food areas but most places open at 11am. Overall we had so much fun and can't wait to come back! read more

If I could rate this place a zero I would I entered the Sky River Casino to gamble for the first time here I entered the Brew 32 restaurant/ bar after leaving the casino floor sat down to watch a football game at the bar and a bartender name Dale took my order and proceeded to tell me that I needed to spend $50 in order to watch a football game. First off he was very abrupt and matter of fact very rude. I was going to spend more than that ultimately but had already lost money on the gambling floor and was a little bothered as most people would, that was the last thing I needed to hear plus I never saw a sign stating this. If this is a common practice or he decided to make a judgement of me that I wouldn't spend that amount and wanted more tips he should be reprimanded. While I was drinking my drink he kept watching me it made me so uncomfortable so I left. I will never return and tell my family and friends who are all here in Elk Grove never to go to this Casino and especially the sports bar area. Management should know how to train their employees this place sucks. read more

This Casino is convenient only because its close by. It can get crowded where you won't be able to play your favorite machine. The vibe i've experienced here are more younger adults and tipsy people. I haven't won much here only a few times on a lucky night. But never give up...gota keep trying! read more

Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say, "I'm so disappointed with this place right now." My birthday is on June 3rd, and I went to Sky River Casino thinking, "They better not give me a cup for my birthday." They didn't let me down! They literally, pushed me down! They gave me a piece of printout with a chance to win free play or something at the end of the month. I was instructed to bring the printout to the Players Club, fill in my email address and have it put into a clear container with God knows, how many other printouts. Now keep in mind, this is only the 2nd of June. The drawing is on the 30th and there is a considerable number of entries already. DOES THIS CHANCE AT WINNING REPRESENT MY BIRTHDAY GIFT? WOW! I'm elite! What a travesty and total mockery of status. I would have felt better with getting lotto tickets from a homeless person. What a cheap way of celebrating one's birthday and thinking it's ok. I brought one of the employee's there a gift last week that cost over $50 and it wasn't even their birthday. Thunder Valley gave me a hefty amount of free play for my birthday, plus 2 free tickets to all the concerts from April thru August and 2-3 hotel night's stay each week. I'm really disappointed! Even the man standing in back of me today was complaining on how bad the place was. I had to stop listening to him. All I can say "SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT" AT SKY RIVER. read more

Plenty of machines and open tables. They have a broad range of restaurants, and I could appreciate the little cafe that had yummy looking desserts. I'll def be back! read more

Indian Casino in Elk Grove. On the medium to smaller size casino compared to some of the other Indian Casinos. There is a security check as you enter. They just check your bag and ID. They allow smoking inside. There is a food court and a few restaurants. Gambling in the center. It is a square shaped building so easy to get around and just circle the perimeter. read more

Sky River Casino is a small casino in Elk Grove and a short drive from Sac. I've been here on Fridays and the weekend when it's packed and they have plenty of parking. You're carded and bag checked when you enter... It's heavy with smoke smell and congested most of the time. Plenty of restaurants and a market food hall if you want something quick and easy. Card tables are always full and I feel like there are not enough machines for the amount of people in there. But a convenient location. read more

Enjoyed the slots and atmosphere of this casino. I was disappointed with the ventilation. The smoke smell was very strong throughout the casino on Friday. My mom and I were both coughing and I got a bad headache from it that lasted until the next morning. Normally it's not an issue but this time there was not enough air flow to dissipate smoke. Please increase filtration and ventilation so we can return again. Thank you. read more

Only reason I come here is for their Zone 50 on Wednesdays 8am-8pm. $10 free play & $5 off a purchase of $10 or more at The Market. Many of the restaurants at The Market don't open til 11am and some open even later. Food is ok. read more

Received a flyer in the mail offering free play and dining credit. When I swiped my card, nothing. I asked @ the rewards counter and they said none of that on a Saturday, you can get free play tomorrow. What? How stupid! I'm here today! Who does that? The machines are very tight. Casino is over lit, smoky, crowded, playing very loud, irritating music. Didn't like the atmosphere at all. Companion played black Jack, he said the game was ridiculously complicated, too many side bets. Beers $7, bartender refused to sell two at once to my companion. Ate at the marketplace; disappointed that the nicer restaurants are not open for lunch on a Saturday. The Vietnamese pho was truly awful, tasteless broth, crappy meat, $27! Companion had butcher block burger & fries, meh. No comparison to Nevada casinos, or even the little Harrah's in Ione. Will not return. read more

It's been over twenty years since I have been in a casino (in Reno) and things have changed. All the slots have been supersized, are electronic and have what I assume are designed to be mesmerizing graphics, colors, sounds. This one story casino on the fringes of Elk Grove off of Highway 99 has I would guess over 1,000 such machines on their floor. I brought my aunt, who likes gambling, from out of state on a busy Saturday and she enjoyed herself. The pluses are that they have a big free parking lot. The casino is also fairly easy to get around, is disability accessible , and has large and spacious restrooms. The decor is high end (glass art chandeliers, leather banquette sofas in the bar). There is a lot of security at the doors, checking bags and on the floor as well as I'm sure behind closed doors with cameras. Security seemed tight. That's good. The biggest downside for me was the air quality. As this is an Indian casino and tribal law is in effect, there are no indoor smoking restrictions and the air was thick with smoke and perhaps some kind of masking freshener to cover it up which unfortunately didn't work. The ventilation game was not strong. I had to put on a mask quickly. They also have a cigar bar which I think was the main culprit. I feel so sorry for the people who work here. I didn't feel well from the air here after only a couple hours. They don't have a buffet (as my Aunt noted with displeasure) but they did have several different options of prepared and ready-made food items to eat in a light, bright, and appealing food court (Mexican, Asian, Italian, sandwich shop) as well as a more formal sit-down steakhouse. The food court area does not allow smoking which is a plus. The prices at the food court have parity with local restaurants. My aunt had a margarita which she said was nice and strong ($9) and spent $50 on slots and got a return of $30 so not a huge loss and she had fun. read more

I had a very nice experience at Sky River. Mina was so very helpful in searching for a specific slot machine. She went out of her way to look it up on her phone and walked us to the exact machines and wished us luck. Angie was also helpful when I won. read more

I dont gamble but I do like to eat here. 32 Brews Street is one of my faves for their drinks, food, service and overall atmosphere. You can view any sport on multiple screens. Staff are always friendly and good about checking in on our table. Seating is great for 2 or larger parties. I will say, this is a restaurant semi open to the casino so you may smell smoke or hear the slots. So if you're sensitive to that, you may want to rethink it but this restaurant is literally for a good time and watching sports. read more

Sky River Casino -- 3-Star Review (Short) Middle-of-the-road experience: big venue, clean facilities, and friendly staff at times, but crowds and limited seating can be frustrating. Comps and drinks didn't wow me, and it can get noisy and hectic. Tips: go during off-peak times, sign up for the rewards program, and bring friends to share seats. read more

Worst Indian casino in Northern California. Player comps and benefits are absolutely pathetic. Bar service is mostly terrible. I played $200 on a bar keno machine and wasn't asked once if I wanted a drink. The bar tender was just talking to the lady next to me with no regard for any customers that wanted to actually pay. I am a local to Elk Grove and I'll take my money to Reno from now on. Save your time and money, avoid LieRiver. read more

Sky River happens to be one of the newest casinos in the area and it's located in the beautiful city of Elk Grove right off of the 99 freeway. It's probably one of the most convenient casinos to come to since it is right off the freeway and easy to get to. Sky River isn't too small but it also isn't the biggest casino. They have a few restaurants, small food court, cigar bar, tons of slots, good selection of table games and so on. I wish I could tell you how the food is but I'm usually so focused and occupied that I literally starve myself when I'm there lol. I have a love/hate relationship with this casino because some days I'm winning on the slots and other days I lose so bad and want to leave crying lol. But this happens to be the first casino that I've ever won a handpay at and that alone is a big plus!! They have all of the "Lock It Link" slot machines that I love, they aren't as tight as the ones at Thunder Valley and do give good bonuses. Aside from losing money there often the other downsides would be the parking. While the parking lot is pretty spacious, it does fill up quick and if you don't come early or you come on the weekends you may find yourself circling the lot a few times. Other downsides are there is no hotel and no buffet. Also, it's hard to get free play here. I did read that they have plans to expand and build a hotel and even center sometime in 2027, so that will be nice. Overall, it's your average casino and given that it's still pretty new I will cut them some slack. I recommend coming here to check it out but don't expect too much. I'm sure in a few years it may be on the level of Thunder Valley and Cache Creek but for now it's good for its convenient location. read more

Upon my arrival at approximately 7:00 a.m. this morning, I was met by a security guard who was extremely rude and unwelcoming. He did not greet me, acknowledge me, or even offer a simple hello. As I proceeded toward the entrance, he abruptly yelled, "Excuse me, ma'am! Stop! What are you doing, and where do you think you're going? I need to look in your purse." Surprised by his approach, I responded, "You need to look in my purse?" I simply wanted to confirm that I had heard him correctly. His response was, "Yeah, you didn't hear me? It's policy, so it's not your choice." Having visited numerous casinos and establishments, I have never personally encountered this type of interaction upon entering. I understand that security procedures are sometimes necessary, and I have no objection to reasonable safety measures. However, if guests are required to undergo searches before entering, security personnel should be trained to communicate those expectations professionally and respectfully. A simple greeting followed by, "Good morning, ma'am. For everyone's safety, we are required to inspect purses before entry," would have accomplished the exact same objective without making a guest feel disrespected. Security should make guests feel safe, not intimidated or unwelcome. Unfortunately, my concerns did not end there. As I was leaving, the establishment had become much busier, and a considerable line had formed at the entrance. I observed the same security guard selectively pulling individuals out of line to conduct additional screening with a handheld security wand, presumably checking for weapons. What caught my attention was the apparent pattern in whom he selected. He appeared to be targeting younger men, particularly those dressed in a style commonly associated with hip-hop culture, while allowing older white men to enter without undergoing the same level of screening. As a former law enforcement officer, I recognized that these were not simply casual security checks. He was conducting thorough screenings, including requiring individuals to lift their pant legs. I found the apparent inconsistency in these procedures concerning. If security screening is necessary to protect guests, the standards should be applied consistently, regardless of a person's age, race, clothing, or perceived social background. History has repeatedly shown that age and race do not determine whether someone poses a threat. And Just because someone is Black does not mean they are incapable of profiling another Black person. As a former white police officer, I witnessed firsthand Black officers selectively targeting and profiling Black men, sometimes without even recognizing their own unconscious biases. Some of these individuals were among the best officers I had the privilege of working alongside. These encounters ruined my visit, and I won't be returning to spend my hard-earned money anywhere that basic human decency, professionalism, and equal treatment are apparently too much to expect. In conclusion I spent a couple thousand all on slots and no big hits, nothing! Including high limit slots read more

worse, this is the worst casino in Northern California. Nowhere else are the comps less. I can promise you if you spend tens of thousands of dollars they will give you literally $100 in FreePlay if you go to thunder Valley and spend that kind of money you're getting free hotels tickets to a show free food, full comped dinners. Do not waste your time or money at this packed casino that yet never has service people are rude. Save yourself the time. read more

I really enjoyed my time here. High roller room was a little on the smaller scale, but off 200- won close to 2k not bad and then off to roulette and another 600, feeling pretty good! The dealers were friendly and the food was delicious. Security at door, tons of ample parking and various table games and slot machines. There are so many places to eat! The bathrooms are clean. They are working on building a hotel soon and a spa and more parking. I'd be down to spend the night and have a good time for a day! I do however wish there was a non smoking area, some places are super heavy, my hair smelled so horrible!! I also would recommend having purse hooks for women underneath your tables and at slots so we can watch our purses! Overall, had a fun few hours, not bad wining close to 3k off 200! read more

The beverage service never offered me anything during my 4 hours in the casino. The air circulation is poor on crowded nights--I could hardly breathe. It might be time to tune up the system and replace the air filters. The marketplace also needs better food options. The pizza is greasy, and the Asian food isn't as good as other Chinese restaurants in the area. I hope you can improve the food quality in the casino. If you're charging premium prices, the food should match that standard--not just average. read more

Tons of gaming options. The machines pay from time to time, and lots of options for food and drink. The service is also pretty good.
