Will new Fire Mountain Casino rebrand as Hard Rock?

June 23, 2018

Plans are being made to develop a Hard Rock & Casino in Yuba County. The casino will be owned by the Estom Yumeka Maidu Tribe of Oroville's Enterprise Rancheria. The construction will be financed by a bond worth $440 million in collateral backing.

In addition to the $440 million bond, the tribe will also obtain a loan for $12 million.

The money will be used for construction development, and place funds in an interest reserve. The money will also pay for cost at the grand opening. Such as supplying the cage cash. Also, to cover expenses and fees from fund transactions.

Plans for a partnership with Hard Rock International have not been officially released as of yet. However, a recent report released by S&P Global revealed the partnership between the tribe and Hard Rock International.

Progress is being made by the tribe to put everything in place before construction begins. It is expected that the official announcement will be made soon.

Land was bought in Yuba County many years ago by the tribe. The purchase was made that that they could build a casino in the future. The 40 acre property is located near the amphitheater along Forty Mile Road. The original plan was for a casino resort to be named Fire Mountain Casino.

The proposed casino has had legal opposition in the past. Recently a federal appeals court sided with the tribe. The legal battle had stopped construction on the casino project in 2016.

Grading for the property is expected to begin again in June. The tribe is hopeful that the casino will be completed by the end of next year.
