Jackson Rancheria Launches New Website

JACKSON, CA – JacksonCasino.com has a new look. The website for Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort has been completely redesigned with more features, easier navigation, and more online functions.

Jackson Rancheria is nearing the end of extensive renovations and planning an extravagant Grand Opening Celebration in November to mark the completion of major new Gaming areas, five Restaurants, a High Limit Room, Poker Room, Gift Shop, Bus Lobby, much easier access, and more.

The website is a big step in the evolution of the new Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort.“Our hope is, just like the totally redesigned Casino space, our guests will find our new virtual space cleaner and more intuitive to navigate through,” said CEO Rich Hoffman.

The new site includes details on Promotions, Entertainment, Dining, and more. There is a new Blog, spotlights on both recent Winners and the Casino’s largest Winners over the years, plus information on Career opportunities at the Rancheria.

Users can now make online reservations for the Hotel, RV Park and Lone Wolf Restaurant as well as purchase tickets to Concerts and other Events.

Event planners looking for a great place to host an event of any size or type will find details on the new site.

There is a live Weather Bug with current weather data and the ability to see real time conditions at the RV Park.The site was designed by Proof Interactive, an award winning, independent firm located in Las Vegas. “Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort is a destination filled with gaming action, live entertainment and luxurious amenities set amidst the beautiful landscape of Miwuk tribal lands and Amador County,” notes Dan Geary, President of Proof Interactive. “The site design stays true to the nature of the resort, which is excitement and fun surrounded by the beauty of the surrounding countryside. It was a great, collaborative effort and I couldn’t be more proud of this project.”

 Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort is located at 12222 New York Ranch Road, Jackson, CA 95642. 800-822-WINN (9466), http://www.jacksoncasino.com/ .Located in the Sierra foothills town of Jackson, CA, Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort is owned by the Jackson Rancheria Band of Miwuk Indians, a federally recognized Indian tribe. A sovereign government, the Rancheria is dedicated to developing projects that not only enhance the tribe’s ability to remain self-reliant, but also reflect a commitment to be a good neighbor.###
