Southern California's tribal casinos sit in a ring around the Los Angeles basin, close enough for an evening visit from the suburbs but outside the reach of state commercial gaming law. The properties at Temecula in Riverside County and Highland in San Bernardino County are the largest, both expanded into full resorts in the 2010s.
Because California does not license commercial slot casinos, these venues face no in-state competition of the same type, and their investment has gone into hotel towers, restaurants by name chefs and entertainment halls. Card rooms in Los Angeles County serve a separate, poker-only market.
