Chicken Ranch Casino Resort - Jamestown, California

This is my third time posting this. Not sure why my original two posts were deleted.

This is a review for the casino, not hotel.

The new games are terrible. You just can't win unless you spend a lot of money. Like hundreds of dollars.

The old machines are so much better, you can spend less, gamble longer and was more fun. The new machines take huge bets and your money is gone in a few minutes.

We will go back to Black Oak instead even though it's farther away. They have better games, it's more fun, and they actually allow you to win!

Also, the owner posted on another review about contributing to the community and making the road better. They put a huge roundabout in the highway. No one asked for this or wanted it. The entrance should have been where the original entrance was.

Spent two nights for my mother's birthday. The resort employees were all top notch. The building is gorgeous wroth lots of natural light. I was so happy to find that the new casino is non smoking. Our room was a wheelchair accessible room which was really nice. The view from our room was absolutely stunning. I wish I could have spent more time on the balcony.

My biggest complaint is that in the room, there is a smoke detector, high on the wall that has a flashing indicator light. Every 6 seconds there is a flash. If you have light sensitive sleep issues it's maddening. It is not noticeable during the day but ridiculous at night.

The tablet that is in the room, that is being used as a clock and information point, kept going to full brightness multiple times. I finally hid it in the night stand drawer. I turned the brightness down multiple times and the next night found the power button.

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by John at Perch Rooftop Dining, and I can confidently say he provided an experience that exceeded all expectations! From the moment we sat down, John’s warm demeanor and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs.

He went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Whether it was his expert recommendations on the menu or his impeccable timing in checking on us, it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our evening unforgettable.

I would hire John as my personal server in a heartbeat! His passion for hospitality is evident, and I wish I could enjoy service like his everywhere I go. If you have the chance to dine at Perch, be sure to request John — you won't regret it!

Whoever designed this casino/hotel should be the asked to design them all. I love the architecture of this building. The rooms are terrific! I must admit, this hotel is pretty damn classy. The casino is very nice, employees are friendly. This was my second time here and I didnt pay attention to these details the first time, but I really walked around this place and love its decor and cleanliness. Although the pool was closed (winter), i could see how the pool area would be a great hangout, plus there is a bar at the pool too. I do think however that the drinks are a little pricey, but oh well, the place is brand new. I'm definitely going back, very impressed.

My husband and I came up for the morning. The new casino is gorgeous. Very clean and surprisingly quiet. Everyone working there looks and sounds happy to be there. That makes a huge difference in the experience for me. We had an awesome burger for lunch. Won some money then came home. We will be back.
Happy New Year's Chicken Ranch

We didn't stay or gamble at the casino. We just met family and friends for drinks and food

This casino is kind of small, which makes sense I guess. It's nice and clean. The staff was nice, but many seemed to lack prior customer service experience. It's like this is either their first job or a retiree's second career. For instance, when we asked for a table for six at the sports bar, the older gentleman first checked to see if we needed any special accommodations, but did so by asking if anyone was "...in a wheelchair, or anything else weird like that". There were other little things, but nothing as memorable as the wheelchair comment.

The wings in the sports bar were really good and the drinks were tasty. It's also a great place to people-watch. Lots of characters for sure. I can see staying here one day.

Nice new casino with a variety of slot machines. Like the fact that it's non-smoking. The drink servers came around often, which makes it nice. They have great eateries from Wahlburgers to Rooftop dining. Heard nice things about their hotel. Will have to come back & stay next time.

We had an amazing time at the new chicken ranch casino. The rooms were beautiful and felt like a high-end resort.
We definitely got clucky in the casino, too.. The casino does feel a little tight between machines but it was really nice and we won some money. So it was definitely a good time.. Can't wait to go back again and see the rest of the place as we were only there for 1 night.
