BOS 2025 NATIVE NORTHWEST
Some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country await gamblers in the Pacific Northwest. From the Pacific Ocean to awe-inspiring mountains to streams and forests, it’s a natural wonderland. Tribal casinos here are almost as varied as the terrain, with megaresorts near large population centers and small operations, sometimes with just a few dozen games and a single restaurant, in more sparsely populated areas.
The games are diverse, too. In Oregon’s multiple tribal casinos and in dozens of operations in northern California, slot and video poker games have individual random number generators. They’re the same games you’d find in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or any other commercial gaming jurisdiction. Some California casinos also offer Class II slots, where the game is really electronic bingo with numbers drawn by a central server, and results translated into a user-friendly slot machine interface. Those are instantly recognizable by a small bingo display on the screen. The nearly 40 casinos in Washington have something different, with tribal lottery terminals that look like slots, but which deliver results that are the equivalent of drawing the next card from a stack of virtual scratch-off cards.
This year’s top properties are a sequel of 2024 with all returning properties in the same position. ilani Casino again took the trophy for Best Overall Casino and offers over 100,000 square feet of gaming and entertainment, 2,500 slots, 75 gaming tables, and 15 different restaurants, bars and retail shops. The casino reached the summit for Best Overall Casino, Best Progressive Slots, Best $5+ Slots, Best Players Club Lounge, Best VIP Services and Best Casino Cocktail Service.
Seven Feathers Casino Resort in Canyonville, OR, again soared to a silver-medal performance and offers a wonderful casino experience with numerous slots, table games, bingo, a sports bar, entertainment venues and dining options. The property grabbed Best Video Poker, Best Penny Slots, Best Dollar Slots, Friendliest Casino, Best Slot Club, Best Comps, Best Customer Service, Friendliest Casino, Best Bingo and Best Bingo Tournaments.
Graton Resort and Casino continues reaping rewards from the property’s $1 billion casino renovation. The property houses 3,000 slots, 120 of your favorite table games, excellent dining and entertainment options, a 200-room hotel, a spa and more. Even more is in the works including a casino floor expansion adding 144,000 square feet, 2,000 new slot machines, a new poker room and a new high-limit area. The project, which is expected to be completed by 2027, will also include a new five-story hotel wing with over 200 rooms, a 28,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for 480 guests, and a 3,500-seat theater. The property picked up honors as Best High-End Slot Area, Best Hosts, and had several other top-three finishes.
