The Question Behind the Question
A reader asking whether Graton Resort & Casino has roulette and craps is usually deciding whether the trip is worth making. The venue's own published reference sources document 144 table games on the floor, but they do not itemize which specific games those 144 tables carry. This article gives you the fixed, documented facts about the venue and its geography, and explains where the current game-by-game answer lives.
Graton Resort & Casino is an Indian casino and hotel outside Rohnert Park, California, that opened on November 5, 2013. It is owned and operated by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. The casino has 3,000 slot machines, 144 table games, and a poker room. Those are the documented facility figures from publicly published reference sources, and they describe a point in time, not necessarily today's floor layout.
What the 144 Table Games Figure Does and Does Not Tell You
A count of 144 table games tells you the venue operates a substantial table-games floor. It does not tell you whether roulette wheels and craps tables are among those 144. Casinos routinely rotate, add, and remove individual table games based on demand, regulatory approvals, and floor reconfiguration. A documented aggregate count cannot be decomposed into specific game titles without a current floor listing.
Roulette and craps are among the most common table games in large California tribal casinos, but that general observation is not a fact about this venue. The only defensible statement is that the venue documents 144 table games and that the specific mix is not itemized in the reference sources used for this article. The reader who needs a yes-or-no answer should consult the venue's own published floor listing or contact guest services directly.
The Venue's Fixed Geographic Position
Graton Resort & Casino sits at coordinates 38.36076 north latitude and -122.72317 west longitude, outside Rohnert Park in Sonoma County, California. Relative to the state, that places it in the northern part of California, west of the Central Valley and north of the San Francisco Bay. Sonoma County lies north of Marin County and San Francisco, and the venue is inland from the Pacific coast.
The nearest major population center in the supplied reference set is San Francisco, at 43.6 straight-line miles. Sacramento is 68.2 straight-line miles to the east. San Jose is 84.1 straight-line miles to the south. These figures describe great-circle distances, not road mileage, and they anchor the venue's position without implying a driving route.

The table is deliberately long because the reference set for this venue is extensive. A reader comparing two candidate casino trips can use these figures to gauge relative geographic spread, but must remember that a straight-line figure of 43.6 miles to San Francisco does not mean a 43.6-mile drive. The actual road route will be longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or driving times for any pair.
Why Straight-Line Distance Understates the Real Trip
Great-circle distance is the shortest path between two points on a sphere. A car cannot follow that path. The road network bends around topography, water, and land-use boundaries. In this part of California, the terrain between Sonoma County and the Bay Area or Sacramento includes coastal ranges, valleys, and protected open space that force routes to follow established corridors rather than a direct line.
Water crossings add another layer. A straight line from Graton Resort & Casino to San Francisco crosses parts of San Pablo Bay, which no road traverses directly. The road network routes around the bay or uses specific bridge crossings, each of which adds distance. Similar effects apply to any pair separated by a major river, lake, or bay. The straight-line figure is a useful geographic anchor, not a travel-planning number.
State boundaries do not change the geometry of a straight line, but they often change the road network's behavior. A route that crosses from California into Nevada or Oregon may follow different highway design standards, different speed limits, and different terrain. None of that is captured in a great-circle figure, and none of it is estimated in this article.
How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point
The venue's position is fixed at 38.36076, -122.72317. Your starting point is not fixed, and no article can know it. If a reader asks about distance from "me" or "my location," the honest answer is that the venue's coordinates are constant while the reader's coordinates are not. The reference table above gives fixed anchors, but the reader must supply their own origin.
To measure from your own position, take your current latitude and longitude from a mapping tool, then use any great-circle distance calculator with the venue's coordinates above. That gives you the straight-line figure. For the road distance, use a mapping service that returns a driving route, and treat its output as an estimate that changes with traffic, construction, and route selection. This article does not compute road distances for any pair.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Several items change between the time this article is written and the time a reader arrives. The venue's table-game mix is one of them. A floor that documents 144 table games today may carry a different mix next quarter. Roulette and craps availability, in particular, should be confirmed against the venue's current floor listing or by calling guest services directly.
The venue's hotel room count of 200 is a documented figure from publicly published reference sources, but room availability on a given night is a live inventory question. The venue's slot machine count of 3,000 is likewise a documented point-in-time figure. Any reader planning a trip should confirm current operating details through the venue's own published channels, including its website and guest services line, rather than relying on a static article.
