The number on record is 2,300, with a date attached to it
Cache Creek Casino Resort in Brooks, Northern California's Capay Valley, is documented in publicly published reference sources as offering 2,300 slot machines. That figure is a point-in-time record, not a live count: properties revise machine totals as floors are reconfigured, machines are swapped, and sections are rebuilt.
The same reference sources that record the 2,300-machine figure also document more than 85 table games, a 14-table poker room, and 74,720 square feet of casino floor space. Each of those numbers describes the property at the moment the source was compiled, and each can move with a remodel.
What the slot count does and does not include
A published slot-machine total is a snapshot with a specific counting convention behind it. Some properties count only traditional reel and video slots; others fold in electronic table games, video poker terminals, or machines in a separate high-limit room. The 2,300 figure for Cache Creek comes from a source that lists slot machines as its own category, separate from the more than 85 table games and the 14-table poker room.
This matters because two venues can report slot counts that are not measuring the same thing. One may include every electronic gaming position on the floor, while another separates video poker or electronic table products into their own line. A straight comparison of two slot totals is only meaningful when both properties use the same counting convention, and that convention is rarely printed next to the number.
Where Cache Creek sits and how people reach it
The venue's documented coordinates place it at 38.734837 latitude and -122.141834 longitude, in Brooks, California, in the Capay Valley. The property opened as a bingo hall in July 1985, was renovated in 2002, and completed as a destination resort in 2004. A second expansion began in 1996 and opened in phases in 1998 and 1999.
The connected hotel contains 659 rooms, including 27 suites, as recorded in publicly published reference sources. That room figure, like the slot count, is a documented point-in-time number and can change as towers are added or rooms are reclassified.
Straight-line distances to common reference points
All distances below are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates. They are not road miles, and driving distance is always longer. This article does not publish road mileage or driving times.
| Reference point | Straight-line distance | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Sacramento | 36.5 miles | Great-circle |
| Sacramento Airport | 29.8 miles | Great-circle |
| San Francisco | 67.8 miles | Great-circle |
| San Jose | 97.6 miles | Great-circle |
| Modesto | 96.9 miles | Great-circle |
| Reno | 136.3 miles | Great-circle |
| Thunder Valley | 45.3 miles | Great-circle |
| Graton | 40.7 miles | Great-circle |
A reader measuring from their own position should take the venue's documented coordinates and compare them against their own coordinates. The straight-line figure gives a sense of relative position; the actual route, road distance, and travel time are determined by roads, terrain, and traffic, none of which this article measures.
How the slot figure compares with nearby documented venues
Two nearby Northern California venues have documented slot counts in the same reference sources. The comparison below is limited to fields both venues have on record, and it is presented side by side without a verdict about which is larger, better, or more suitable for any reader.
| Field | Cache Creek Casino Resort | Thunder Valley |
|---|---|---|
| Slot machines | 2,300 | Not supplied in this article's reference set |
| Hotel rooms | 659 | Not supplied in this article's reference set |
| Gaming square feet | 74,720 | Not supplied in this article's reference set |
| Table games | More than 85 | Not supplied in this article's reference set |
Where a field is not supplied for the second venue, no comparison is made. Comparing only the fields both venues have on record keeps the table honest and avoids implying a ranking the underlying facts do not support.
Why slot counts are hard to compare across venues
Three measurement problems make cross-venue slot comparisons unreliable. First, gaming square footage and total building square footage are different concepts: a resort with a large hotel and convention space can have a modest casino floor, while a compact property can pack a dense floor into a small footprint. Cache Creek's documented 74,720 square feet of casino floor space is a gaming-area figure, not a total-property figure.
Second, the slot-machine total may or may not include electronic table games, video poker, or other electronic gaming positions. Third, the hotel-room count may or may not include adjacent towers, suites, or rooms held out of inventory. A reader comparing two properties should confirm, for each, what the published number includes before treating the two figures as equivalent.
The property's documented shape
Cache Creek's documented facility profile includes the 2,300 slot machines, more than 85 table games, a 14-table poker room, a day spa, eleven restaurants, and an 18-hole championship golf course, all as recorded in publicly published reference sources. The poker room is noted in those sources as currently closed after COVID, which illustrates how quickly an operational detail can move away from a published snapshot.
The resort's connected hotel contains 659 rooms, including 27 suites. The property opened as a bingo hall in July 1985, was renovated in 2002, and completed as a destination resort in 2004, with a second expansion opening in phases in 1998 and 1999.
What to confirm before you go
Slot counts, table counts, poker-room status, hotel inventory, and floor configuration are all changeable items. The authoritative current answer for any of them sits with the property itself: its published floor directory, its guest services desk, or its official website. Before travelling, confirm the current machine count, the poker room's operating status, and whether any floor section is closed for renovation.
What commonly catches people out is assuming a published count is live. A figure recorded in a reference source can be months or years old, and a single remodel can add or remove hundreds of positions. Treat any published slot total as a documented point-in-time figure, and get the current number from the property before relying on it.
FAQ
How many slot machines does Cache Creek have?
Publicly published reference sources record 2,300 slot machines at Cache Creek Casino Resort. That is a point-in-time figure and can change as the floor is reconfigured. The property's own published floor directory or guest services desk holds the current number.
Does the 2,300 figure include table games or video poker?
The reference source lists slot machines as a separate category from the more than 85 table games and the 14-table poker room. Whether the slot total also folds in electronic table games or video poker terminals is not stated in the source, so the figure should be read as a slot-machine count under the source's own convention.
How far is Cache Creek from Sacramento?
The straight-line distance between documented coordinates for Cache Creek and Sacramento is 36.5 miles. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. A reader should measure the route from their own starting point using a road-mapping tool.
