    Cocktail at Perch
    Karen G.

    Friends of ours suggested a visit to check out Chicken Ranch Casino Resort and we agreed to make a day of it. While we had driven past the resort a few times previously, we did not realize how large it was until we approached the building. Even though it was a Saturday, we didn't have difficulty finding a parking spot since it was early in the day. We entered the building and were surprised by how clean everything appeared. We were also so pleased that there is no smoking allowed inside the casino or restaurants. As someone who is super sensitive to smoke, this was a welcome surprise. We had lunch at the 209 sports grill and enjoyed our meals. Most of our party were in the mood to try their hands at the slot machines. My husband and I decided to explore the casino instead and ventured up to the 2nd and 3rd floors. At the Perch restaurant on the3rd floor we were astonished at the amazing panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Breathtaking! We made our way back to our friends and decided to check out the speakeasy. It was pretty small and we felt that the space could have been utilized more efficiently. There were very few seats. Despite the limited seating, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the fun libations. After dinner at the same sports bar we headed home. It was a fun-filled day and we will be back!

    TWLV- 3 Meal Restaurant. I ordered a kids Alfredo's and special pasta dish. Was chargedd 45 dollars plus tip. Then , I went to pick up meals ... they stated my special was not available after I paid and tipped.... Was charged again for kids meal.... Wasn't given a refund receipt .... The charges posted on my credit card..... asked to speak to a supervisor.... Christopher stated he was in charge and the supervisor was unavailable..... I'm still waiting as I tipped and was charged twice for my child's poor portion Alfredo ‍. I wasn't given a receipt that stated a refund was issued... rather another charge...

    So old but fashioned

    Alright! After my third trip down to chicken ranch casino I thought I'd finally give it a review. I have hit multiple casinos in Northern California. First off chicken ranch casino is clean! There's no debating that. Clean and easy to get around with part of that due to it being on the smaller end in terms of gaming floor size. Newer slot machines make it enjoyable however it's not perfect. If you are coming for slots and only slots then sure, good place to gamble. I tend to lean more towards the table games and there's not many to pick from. There is about 10 tables with only 4 being open. 2 of the tables are blackjack. Absolutely no craps tables besides the digital craps which runs on a random number generator. Personally I felt I ran into more drunk people at the tables here at chicken ranch than other casinos in California. Typically not the best time when you have someone cursing up a storm at the tables and betting table minimum with no option to move tables. Also due to the limited seating if you come with a group of friends, you most likely won't all be able to play at the tables together. Perhaps opening or changing some tables on the floor to blackjack with hirer minimum bets to limit this and give others an opportunity to game peacefully. As for bingo... this has to be the best thing they offer! Surprisingly fun and right next to the old (reopened) chicken ranch. No tables at the old chicken ranch but they had a virtual blackjack, again not a fan of the virtual stuff. Food options are there such as whalburger and another restaurant I saw on the gaming floor. Overall not a terrible place to gamble but could use more table games and options.

    This was very much well anticipated visit to the chicken ranch. Passed by this location as they were preparing to do their opening day and I waited until this weekend to g. It's about a hundred mile drive for me so I was hoping it was worth it. I didn't win anything but I appreciate the couple of dollars of free play they gave for signing up for a card. If I'm in the area again, I'd stop by. I'd love to come back and try some food and maybe an overnight stay and visit Yosemite in the area. Hoping next time my luck would be different. Got coffee while I was there. Its 3 levels, the have a bar area and several restaurants.

    Came out with the girls for an early outing for Mother's Day, Chicken Ranch Casino sounded so funny to us but surprisingly it came out to be looking real fancy schmancy inside. I guess it was a remodel but they did well because it was nice inside. Funny they give you a new player squeaky chicken toy at the players club when you sign on and a free $10 play. I played enough points to get a Bluetooth speaker and food comp which I spent at their Wahlburgers restaurant which actually was really good for trying them the first time. We had a great time, it's just kinda far from where we're at but it was nice visiting. Definitely casinos are for the nearest locals.

    4 of us spent the weekend at the Chicken Ranch Casino resort in Jamestown. we were fortunate enough to stay in the Mother Plucker suite on the 8th floor. it was very nice: actually a little bit larger than our house. 2 beds and 2 and 1/2 baths the restauraunts - TWLV and the Wahlburger joint were both great for food and hanging out. the casino was on the smaller side but the reward program was easy and i was able to get the first reward -bluetooth speak within 2 days of very modest gambling. check in an out was very smooth. the valet and the bellhops were friendly and efficient. we would stay here again

    No electric outlet near the bed, behind nightstand, only USB outlets
    Margarita G.

    Over all nice casino and had no parking issues. They also have valet parking. The casino floor is nice, new and clean but it seems small gambling / slot area for how big the place is. The chairs at the slot machines are heavy and hard to move. They don't slide well on the carpet and hard to move forward once you sit down. Some areas are a little tight if you have a walker or wheelchair. I think, they offer complementary sodas if you're gambling but never have any employees ask me if I wanted or need a drink. No smoking inside, outside patio area for smokers. They carry Pepsi soda though the casino ( personally don't care for Pepsi, I'm a Coke drinker) The hotel is nice but no electricity outlets near the bed, only behind the nightstand. The night stand has USB on the lamps. My husband must have an electric outlet near the bed due to medical reasons/ equipment. We got a room with a patio, it had 2 patio chairs and a small table. The TV in the room was internet TV and super slow loading channels and TV guide. The slot machines seem to be the same machines though out the casino. The popular machines were very limited and someone always playing them. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. The players club area employees were great and friendly. New members get a rubber chicken & free play cash (on club card). Some restaurants could use improvement on the food and customer service. (Yelp restaurants individually).

    Their awesome restaurant called Twelve.
    Matthew C.

    Recently stayed at their beautiful hotel. We received a hotel promotion in the mail and decided to visit again. The first two times we visited and enjoyed their casino. This time we drove up for their hotel and restaurants. We recommend their restaurant called twelve and we had a nice room with a balcony as well. However we watched several YouTube videos beforehand with folks complaining about how tight their slots are now. Omg...I will never be back as we couldn't win a penny and saw that no one else was winning either! Sorry but won't step foot again in their casino!

    Bathroom with no privacy.
    E. Y. G.

    Very fun modern casino/hotel in what seems to be in the middle if no where. They have their own weed shop up the hill and shuttles for the overflow parking. Sports bar restaurant was fun and food and service were decent. Pool area was set up nice. The only complaint I have is the darn no privacy bathroom doors. These should be eliminated from all hotels.

    Leeza D.

    This casino really owns its chicken moniker name. The casino is all slots and there is a bingo hall. There's a small restaurant inside and the menu is attached. Lots of parking. A hotel resort is attached adjacent. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Ask the Community - Chicken Ranch Casino Resort

    Is this still a casino for 18+?

    Our OG Casino is 18+, the resort is 21+ due to the sale of alcohol on the gaming floor.

    Do they offer room service?

    Does chicken ranch let you cash in coins for money?

    Do they have a all you can eat buffet?

    Yes we had breakfast there and it was very good

    Do they sell menthol cigarettes here?

    Yes! In the gift shop and with any casino beverage server.

    Is there a bar on the game floor?

    Chicken ranch is a dry casino, meaning no alcohol, due to allowing 18 year olds to gamble there as well.

    Does this casino have a penny machine?

    Yes, there are many older 1 cent machines in the casino. More and more, they are replacing the older machines with new ones, but I am hoping they retain enough of the old ones as many people seem to prefer them.

    Is this casino for 18 and up?

    Yes

A map is providing for easy understanding of the grounds. It is a trek to get across the grounds and would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Both of my children grew up coming to not only this park, but to Columbia also. Our family has made many trips here over the years. We love combining, education, history and adventure. They host Christmas events here like the Polar Express train ride to North Pole. This was such a spectacular event I brought my daughter to when she was little. We watched the movie the night before. When we arrived in our pajamas for our VIP seat, we stood in line where we were lovingly harassed by actors. We boarding the train after getting a golden ticket! We sat in the back car. Actors were dancing and singing and chasing hobos off the train while we enjoyed a ride and spilled hot cocoa out of polar express keepsake mugs. Arriving at North Pile and seeing the elves and Santa pushed it over the edge for my young daughter. She was beyonnnnnd excited!! Will I return: We always do. There's something incredibly nostalgic about this place!
