JAMESTOWN, CA – Chicken Ranch Casino Resort has announced a full remodel of the original Chicken Ranch Casino, known as “the OG,” marking the next phase in the property’s evolution. On January 5 at 2:00am, the OG will temporarily close its doors to begin a refresh and update of the entire building, with a reopening planned for spring 2026.
When the OG reopened in August 2024, one month after the debut of the new Chicken Ranch Casino Resort, gaming occupancy was intentionally reduced to roughly half of its previous capacity. Following this refresh, the OG will reopen with both sides of the building activated, featuring additional gaming machines – including popular titles such as Wheel of Fortune Cash of Reels, Lucky Lemmings Stampede, and 5x3x2x Red Hot Tamales – alongside 16 electronic table games and an enhanced overall gaming floor layout designed to improve guest flow and support continued growth.
The OG will remain an 18+ fully smoking property upon reopening, continuing to offer a dedicated option for guests who prefer a smoking environment. In keeping with current policy, the OG will not serve alcohol. Throughout the remodel, the bingo hall will remain open and continue operating its regular sessions, allowing patrons to maintain access to scheduled bingo activities while construction is underway.
“Refresh and update of the OG allows us to honor the roots of Chicken Ranch while giving our guests more of what they love – more games, more space, and more choices,” said Joseph Mathiesen-Powell, Chicken Ranch Tribal Chairman. “With the new resort and the refreshed OG, we’re creating complementary experiences for every type of player.”
