It was Pinto’s cousin and vice chairman, Michael Hunter, who came up with the idea to rename the former Marquee Rewards players club to Sweetwater Rewards. “In our language, ‘Ja’ means water and ‘mul’ means sweet, so we have a new logo that signifies a drop of water, or a raindrop, and we’re very proud of that,” she said. That logo, a water droplet anchored by an artful “J,” has special significance for the tribe, said Pinto, the tribal chairwoman. Now there is more shelf space dedicated to everything from T-shirts to lighters and coffee mugs sporting the Jamul Casino logo. Gone are the few Hollywood-branded items once sold at Rodeo Drive.

The casino gift shop has a new sign - and swag. Onyx and Pearl rewards club members can eat free with a guest, while Amber-level players get a 50 percent discount.Īll of Jamul Casino’s other dining venues retained their names, except for the rebranded cafe, The Coffee Shop. The steakhouse, which now features a three-course, $35 fixed price dinner on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sunday, has launched a lobster brunch - its first - for $50.

Every time you come in, you’re going to find something a little bit different here and there that’ll keep it exciting and cutting edge,” he said. “It’s the same great restaurant, with a different feel. The staff here is excellent … (and) we have a great culinary team that supports this,” Natarajan said, adding that Prime Cut had recently won a 2018 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. “We have a wonderful prime program here, USDA Prime, with a special emphasis on local produce and great seafood. Replacing its former cinematic theme, the steakhouse has been renamed Prime Cut to emphasize the restaurant’s quality steaks, according to Raman Natarajan, the vice president of food and beverage.

In the meantime, here’s what’s new at Jamul Casino: Prime Cut
