The $360 million venue off Highway 94 is open 24 hours a day and currently serves alcohol from 10 a.m.

More than 180 letter-writers were invited to attend the November licensing hearings. Many of them said casino patrons who have been drinking will make Highway 94 more dangerous. In the past year, more than 1,000 residents of Jamul sent letters of protest to the ABC. That group has been fighting the casino since 1988. Those who have protested against the Jamul Indian Village and Hollywood Casino over the years include a group called the Jamul Action Committee.

Then it will be up to Prieto at the ABC to approve or reject the finding. Jacob Rambo, chief counsel for ABC, said a new judge, yet to be chosen, will decide the matter on existing record.Ī new hearing “is neither desirable or necessary,” he said. The hearings are part of a long application process that casino management must go through in order to get an ABC-approved alcoholic beverage license. The casino is on land belonging to the Jamul Indian Village and its gaming facilities run by San Diego Gaming Ventures, LLC. The casino opened in October with a temporary license to serve alcohol. Williams wrote to Dhillon that “despite ABC’s protest, (Lewis) took it under consideration, even though it was far outside of his jurisdiction.” He is also the former acting director of the California Gambling Control Commission.
