The original bingo hall opened in 1983. It became the Casino Morongo in 1992, and opened with 35 card tables. A new building was opened in 1995, with more tables added.
The expanded Morongo Casino Resort & Spa was opened on Dec 10, 2004, and the Casino Morongo was then used for bingo, bowling and special events after the new Morongo Casino opened (no longer any real gambling at Casino Morongo).
In 2018 when the newer Morongo Casino was expanded, a few hundred slots were moved to the reopened & remodeled Morongo Casino and gambling resumed at the smaller location.
There is also a Morongo Travel Center with ~40 slots that opened in 1979 and is still open currently; this is a gas station and convenience store with slots only.

This token is from a special Blackjack Game created by Scientific Games. The card game is played at various casinos under license. Locally, it's at Morongo Casino but I understand the games are played around Las Vegas as well. The tokens are given to players under certain betting circumstances as a "free bet," but must be played at the table (presumably the gambler's next bet). Presumably the idea is to keep gamblers at the tables for a longer time and give them an extra incentive to enjoy it. The token is brass with an outer clear plastic shell that enhances the graphics on color. Same design on either side.
