Eagle Mountain Casino has established itself as the place to gamble while in Porterville. The casino that opened in 1996 was located on the Tule River Reservation in the foothills. In April 2021, the Tule River Indian Tribe broke ground on the new, full-service Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, California. Betting on sports futures, props and lay bets.

The Tule River tribe has its own public health authority that includes doctors and staff from the reservation’s health clinic, who with the tribal council declared a state of emergency on March 16, in the early stages of the pandemic’s effects in the Valley.

The tribe has what Mingrone called a large population of more than 200 elders, whose average age is above the age of 70 – an age group considered at higher risk for complications from the coronavirus. “Unless you’re a resident of the reservation, you’re not allowed on the reservation, and there’s been a shelter-in-place for the residents of the reservation.” “So our tribal council decided to shut down the reservation itself” and not just the casino, Mingrone said. That means when visitors come to the casino, it represents a considerable potential for exposure to the virus from outside the community directly into the midst of the reservation’s residents.
