According to Jenkins, the Tribe honors their approximately $11.5 million per year investment in the community.

They have made sure to do a lot to mitigate potential environmental concerns that the casino could have brought. The Tribe that made the casino possible to the community has always made sure to keep up with commitments that they made with the city. In more recent years, the casino has gained more support, and in February 2019, it was not even in the top 20 most important issues in the community.

While acknowledging the initial fears, Jenkins said that although this was the most significant issue in the community at one time, the perception has changed. “We are also working on giving our fire engines emergency priority where they will receive a green light when responding to high priority calls,” said Jenkins. If the approval is received, they will be adding a second left turn lane to Golf Course Drive at Redwood Drive, along with connecting the traffic signals. He said the city will be using casino mitigation funds in the coming years to make new improvements after they get approval from Caltrans. “Our residents are concerned about traffic, and visitors to the casino certainly contribute toward traffic congestion, especially around Golf Course Drive,” said Rohnert Park City Manager Darren Jenkins. Since the opening, there have not been any new concerns about the actual casino itself besides those initially brought to light.

After the announcement of the casino, a coalition was created that was called “Stop the Casino 101.” This was created to invalidate the Tribe who sought to build the casino but was eventually dismissed by the California Court of Appeal. Most of the input that was given before it was built pertained to taking the project down. With Rohnert Park being mostly families and students, the community did have an initial negative perception. However, this was not always the response. It has brought in great revenue and given many people something fun to do with friends or family when they are feeling extra lucky.
