Games Offered At Morongo

Morongo features 195,000 ft.² of gaming space that includes over 4,000 loose slot games and over 80 table games. Of these tables, 13 are restricted to a poker room, where poker enthusiasts can play for real money and enjoy a variety of poker games like Texas Hold ‘Em and 7 Card Stud.

However, Morongo’s slots are arguably the biggest attraction. Its slot collection includes some of the newest games in the entire Palm Springs area. Slot costs are between a single cent up to $100, and you can find traditional reel games plus a bunch of new video machines. There’s also a high limit slot room area for games that pay out large sums.

Spa

Aside from these games and poker, you’ll also be able to enjoy a collection of classic table games like Fortune Pai Gow, 3 Card Poker, and Mississippi Stud. Many of these games take low bets or buy-ins but still include the potential for big winnings. Most of the gaming tables at Morongo are dedicated to these “Cal games”, which feature special rules and can be found at other legal California casinos.

Additionally, there’s a 440-seat bingo room. Not only does this accommodate bingo lovers with events every week, but it also comes with top-notch amenities for comfortable bingo playing.

Morongo Resort originally opened in 1995 under the name Casino Morongo. At the time, it only included a dance hall, diner, and bowling alley. The casino was still under negotiation between tribal and state authorities. The casino finally opened on December 10, 2004.

Morongo History

Like all Indian casinos in California, Morongo is legal because of agreements between California’s state government and the local Indian tribes. These agreements allow Indian casinos to offer gambling even though its against California state law.

Morongo Resort originally opened in 1995 under the name Casino Morongo. At the time, it only included a dance hall, diner, and bowling alley. The casino was still under negotiation between tribal and state authorities.

The casino finally opened on December 10, 2004. Since then, Morongo has remained one of the largest tribal casinos in the entire country.

The casino, specifically, closed in 2014 only to reopen in 2018 as a separate building in order to expand its gaming space even further.

These days, you can still find the original bowling alley, a nightclub, and other entertainment venues on the original casino’s ground. However, the primary Morongo Resort building now houses most of the gaming activities and the main spa. The building includes the hotel as well.

Morongo Casino FAQ

What are the casitas you can reserve at the Morongo Casino?

Casitas are suites that feature private living spaces, pool access, and other luxury amenities. They’re all located on an upper level that surrounds the main pool.

Most Indian casinos in California don't allow anyone under 21-years-old to enter. Why is Morongo different?

The legal gambling age in California is 18-years-old, but Indian casinos may set their own age limits. Morongo is one of the few Indian casinos that stick with state law. Most other Indian casinos set their age limits to 21-years-old to prevent underage drinking on their premises.

What sports betting options does Morongo Casino offer?

You can find boxing cards and MMA fight cards at Morongo Casino from time to time. Most of these occur at the casino’s outdoor pavilion.

Since the casino is a tribal establishment, Morongo is regulated by the National Indian Gaming Commission.

On I-10 a few miles north of Palm Springs turnoff. Take exit #104 off I-10 and take the frontage road East. Follow the signs for the Semi-Truck and RV Parking lots, which are located behind the Morongo Bowling Alley and Bingo Hall (old casino).

RV Parking and Camping Information

Free
Large RV only paved parking area behind old casino. This is now a Bowling Alley and Bongo Hall. Far enough from road that it is very quiet. There are separate lots for semi trucks and for RV's. The RV Lot is away from the trucks and highway, so it's a quiet area. The parking area is slightly sloped, but plenty of room for many RV's.
The RV parking lot isn't near the casino. However, there are signs with the number to call for a free shuttle to the casino. Good Verizon 4G service.

We stayed here one night in November 2018. We ran into very high winds on I-10. Since we weren't in a hurry, we pulled into the casino RV parking area after noon. The directions here are perfect. The RV parking area is large, paved, with a slight slope. But we were able to level easily. There were only about 4 other RV's in the area. Luckily, it is a separate area form the semi-trucks, as there over 20 of them with their motors running. We enjoyed our 1-night visit and moved on the next day (without winds). We didn't visit the casino or dine here this time.

I stayed here for one night in July 2018. There is a large parking area just for RV's behind the parking area for trucks. The RV parking lot is paved and clean but not really level (which is not a problem). I had a quiet night with just a couple of other RV's on the parking area. I called ahead and asked whether I can stay there (and got a 'Yes') but I think this is not really necessary. I did not visit the casino. This is a great place for overnight parking!

The designated RV Parking area has moved. It's no longer behind the casino in area G. The new RV Parking area is further away from the casino on a hill behind the bowling alley and bingo hall (the old casino). A shuttle is available to the casino. Large, paved parking lot just for RV's (semi trucks have their own area). This lot is well marked - just follow the signs.
The new casino is very nice and huge (tall). However, the slots didn't want to give is anything for our efforts.

You can see this casino hotel for 10 minutes before you arrive on Hwy 10. Half hour west of Palm Springs.very nice, large development ( and cheap gas at the band gas station beside the resort ). The large paved, flat, well lit RV parking lot ( lot G ) , behind the casino is accessed past the west side of the casino parade. Only about 100 yards behind the parking lot entrance to the casino.Don't need to register first but if you sign up to be a Winners Club member you get $ 10 free gambling credit of $ 10 discount off the buffet. There are about10 different places to eat in the casino. Some fast food ( 24 hours ), Thai noodle , Mexican etc all in the casino. Many ,many slots .poker tables etc. there's even a club room with a DJ Thurs, Fri and Sat. Monday night football ( event ) in the large Mexican theme restaurant. Very busy place on the Veterans Day 2013.

We stayed there Veterans' Day on our way out to Indio. The RV parking area is off of Apache Trail. Take Apache Trail north past the A&W and gas station
and just before the road ends is a right turn, take the right and the last left turn before going into the parking structure will take to the RV area. We had the buffet and it was good, and my wife played the slots came away with more than she put in but not much. Over all a good experience but can get windy quickly.
