Sky River Casino is hosting on-site job fairs every third Thursday of each month. In fact, the casino’s next job fair is scheduled for Aug. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The casino is hiring for multiple positions in several departments, including food and beverage, security, and human resources. Other jobs include dealers with experience, training specialists, and accounting associates.

“These expansion plans for Sky River will continue to set new standards of excellence for casino experiences not only in the Sacramento area but throughout Northern California and beyond,” said Sky River Casino President Michael J. Facenda.

In June, owners of Sky River Casino announced an expansion plan that includes a 300-room hotel, pool, and spa. Other additions include a VIP gaming area, 400 more slot gaming options, and a parking garage with 1,600 spaces.

Casino expansion construction is split into two phases

Moreover, the expansion is set to be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 is expected to be completed by summer 2025. Phase 2, which includes the hotel, is slated to be completed by early 2027. The expansion is set to bring hundreds of more jobs to the casino once its complete.

According to the press release, the expansion plans will create approximately 200 new job opportunities to accommodate the new offerings, amenities, and experiences.

“We are very proud of what we have created – and continue to imagine – at Sky River Casino,” said Jesus Tarango, Wilton Rancheria Chairman.

“With these expansion plans now firmly in process, the future is even brighter for the Elk Grove community, greater Sacramento area, and for generations of Wilton Rancheria people, the only federally recognized Tribe in Sacramento County.”

Furthermore, the casino currently employs about 1,600 team members with more than half of them being with the casino since its doors opened in August 2022, according to the company.

The casino offers 2,100 slot machines, 80 table games, and 18 elevated restaurants, bars, and lounge destinations. A new, dramatic hotel atrium ceiling will allow for breathtaking views of the sky above.
