Barona offers guests over 75 table games including
blackjack,
3 card poker,
Pai gow poker,
Mississippi Stud, California-style
craps (using playing cards to determine the outcome of a roll rather than only dice, as dice-only games are not allowed in California tribal casinos), roulette and over 2,500 slot and video poker machines. Barona is located between Lakeside and
Ramona, 30 miles northeast of
downtown San Diego. The minimum gambling age at Barona Casino is 18. While the legal age for gambling in California is also 18, many
tribal casinos in California set an age limit of 21 in order to comply with their alcohol license. Unlike most casinos, Barona does not offer alcoholic beverages on the casino floor. It does offer alcoholic beverages in the Barona Oaks Steakhouse, Italian Cucina, room service. According to the leaders of Barona Casino, the winding and hilly nature of Wildcat Canyon Road, which serves as the main access route into Barona Indian Reservation, is a primary factor that led to this decision. As of 2024, Barona is San Diego’s only non-smoking casino. By law, tribal casinos are exempt from state and local laws that regulate smoking. ==References==
