Santan Mountain Casino

Santan Mountain Casino Review Jump to comments

Located on a 160-acre property on the southeast corner of Gilbert Road and Hunt Highway in Chandler, Santan Mountain Casino is the Gila River Indian Community's fourth casino in Arizona. After breaking ground in October 2021, the tribe's $180 million dollar development celebrated its grand opening on June 30th & July 1st, 2023. The new casino bucks the traditional casino design, dark with no windows, and instead offers a light and airy environment that capitalizes on the views of nearby mountains and the undeveloped Sonoran Desert. Guests also have access to a pair of gardens with saguaro cactuses and other desert plants. This is not your grandmother's casino folks.

Drenched in all-white, including a white roulette wheel that reportedly had to be specially ordered from Europe, the casino features more than 800 slots and three table game pits spread across more than a 33,000-square-foot gambling floor. Visitors will choose from 20 table games like roulette, craps and mini-baccarat, as well as an exclusive high-limit gaming salon and the largest casino sportsbook in the state. Visitors can also choose from five dining options and bars. There is a total of 7,000 square feet of event space, including functional indoor space via a large banquet/conference room, and an outdoor garden.

Gila River Resorts & Casino has been operating three locations in Arizona since 1994, all owned by the Gila River Indian Community, including Wild Horse Pass and Lone Butte casinos in Chandler as well as Vee Quiva in the Phoenix community of Laveen. The resorts at Wild Horse Pass and Vee Quiva are Four-Diamond accredited. All three casinos offer a combination of slots, table games, poker, and more, and are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
