History[edit]

Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino Lemoore

The 1,100-seat Southgate Bingo Palace was built for $1 million by Paland, Inc. of Dallas,[1] and opened on November 4, 1983.[2] Within seven months, the construction costs had been recouped, and payments to tribal members began.[1]

By 1986, when a $750,000 renovation was completed to make Southgate the 'most luxurious bingo hall in the state',[3] the hall was being operated by British-American Bingo, Inc., which received 45 percent of revenues, with the remainder going to the tribe.[4] Tribal members also made up 20 percent of the hall's workforce.[2] Revenues had grown to $5.3 million in 1987.[5] The tribe put the money toward items including youth recreation programs, college scholarships, and construction of homes.[6]

In 1994, the tribe took over operation of the bingo hall and renamed it as the Palace Indian Gaming Center.[7] The tribe soon added slot machines, which grew in number to 385 as of 1997, despite ongoing efforts by the state to block them.[8] In 2005, a major expansion was opened, and it was renamed as Tachi Palace.[9]

The seven-story Tachi Palace hotel

The following year, a 7-story, 255-room hotel was opened on the property.[10] The hotel is semi-circular, with plans for a second phase of construction to complete the circle.

Sporting events[edit]

World Extreme Cagefighting hosted 22 mixed martial arts events at Tachi Palace, until it was bought in 2006 by Zuffa, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and moved its events to Las Vegas.[11][12] The casino's entertainment director, Christian Printup, then created a new MMA promotion, Palace Fighting Championship.[13] After Printup departed in 2009, the casino formed a new promotion, Tachi Palace Fights, in conjunction with Gladiator Challenge.[14] The tribal council decided to discontinue mixed martial arts events at the casino in December 2012,[15] but reversed its decision in March 2013, and TPF fights resumed.[16]

The cancelled UFC 249 was to have been held at Tachi Palace.[17]

Tachi Palace has also hosted many boxing events in association with promoter Goossen-Tutor,[18] and became especially known for its women's boxing bouts.[19]

Tachi Palace reaches agreement to expand in Kings Co.

Tachi Palace is about to go bigger.

The Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi-Yokut Tribe recently signed an intergovernmental agreement with Kings County to allow the tribe to expand their hotel and casino -- and in exchange -- the county will get improved infrastructure and a new fire station in the area.

'We want to continue our working relationship because it's based on trust and communication with the county, so this is just part of the on-going process with Kings County,' said Tribal Chairman Leo Sisco.

Under the new agreement, the Tribe will fund a new fire station and regional training facility at the northeast corner of 17th and Kansas near the casino.

The deal also calls for the Tribe to assist with staffing and equipment costs.

'This proposal that the Tribe has brought to us and was approved is a fantastic day for Kings County Fire. We're actually moving a station into a location where it better serves the community, better serves the Tribe needs and surrounding community,' said Kings County Fire Chief William Lynch.

County Supervisor Doug Verboon calls the agreement a win-win for both sides

'This is a great opportunity for Kings County and Tachi Hotel and Casino. It shows we know how to work together as a team and we've built a really good foundation to work together in the future,' said Supervisor Verboon.

In addition, the Tribe intends to increase the casino's footprint to include additional gaming space, a 200-room hotel tower, as well as a new bingo hall that will double as an event center.

The tribe also plans to add 24 pumps to its existing gas station and expand the Tribe's housing community and water treatment facility.

'The fact that I was here when they opened up the tent and had bingo gaming here 20 years ago, I saw what they could do in 20 years. That's a short amount of time to be where they're at today. And if they do the same thing from here on out, I can't imagine at how big it's going to be and how great its going to be for our community,' said Supervisor Verboon.

The two sides are scheduled to meet again next month to determine when construction might begin.

The expansion project is expected to add upwards of 100 new jobs to the area.
