It is owned and operated by the Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians.

[2] Barona offers guests over 75 table games including blackjack, 3 card poker, Pai gow poker, Mississippi Stud, California-style craps (using playing cards to determine the outcome of a roll rather than only dice, as dice-only games are not allowed in California tribal casinos), roulette and over 2,500 slot and video poker machines.

Barona is located between Lakeside and Ramona, 30 miles northeast of downtown San Diego.

It does offer alcoholic beverages in the Barona Oaks Steakhouse, Italian Cucina, room service.

According to the leaders of Barona Casino, the winding and hilly nature of Wildcat Canyon Road, which serves as the main access route into Barona Indian Reservation, is a primary factor that led to this decision.
