River Rock Casino will rebrand as Caesars Republic Sonoma County

Dry Creek Rancheria has partnered with Caesars to develop an integrated resort.

The River Rock Casino will become Caesar Republic Sonoma County as part of a project carried out by Dry Creek Rancheria and Caesars Entertainment.

The partnership began when Dry Creek Rancheria chose Caesars Entertainment to develop and manage the new integrated resort. Citizens took the lead on project financing, while Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc (GLPI) served as the primary real estate financing partner. 

Chris Wright, Chairman at Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, said, “Breaking ground on Caesars Republic Sonoma County marks a monumental moment for Dry Creek Rancheria. 

“This partnership with Caesars Entertainment represents more than just a new chapter in our casino’s story, it’s a bold leap into the future for our Tribe and our community. Together, we are creating a world-class resort experience that blends the natural beauty of Sonoma County with premier gaming, hospitality and entertainment.

“We are proud to work alongside Caesars, Citizens and GLPI to bring this vision to life and elevate our economic and cultural legacy. This project is a powerful step forward and we are eager to share it with the region and beyond.”

The resort, located overlooking the Alexander Valley Vineyards, will undergo a transformation featuring a gaming floor with over 1,000 slot machines and 28 table games. The venue will also include a new 100-room hotel, complete with a spa, pool, and fitness center.

Good to know: The proposal to renovate the casino was first informed in 2023

Anthony Carano, President and COO at Caesars Entertainment, said, “On the heels of a successful launch of Caesars Republic in Lake Tahoe, we couldn’t think of a better place than Sonoma County to continue the brand’s expansion. 

“We’re excited to partner with Dry Creek Rancheria to bring this incredible destination to life and offer a new, elevated and unique experience for our guests to indulge in, right in the heart of wine country.”

Odds tell a story long before the result does. When bettors learn to read that story properly, betting becomes a matter of discipline and value rather than emotion or guesswork.
