Originally known as "Southgate Bingo Palace", which opened in 1983, and was located on the reservation land of Santa Rosa Indian Community. The British-American Bingo Company bought the Taichi Indian concession in 1986 and changed its name to "The Palace". In 1994, the Taichi tribe took over the operation of the bingo hall/casino and renamed it the "Palace Indian Gaming Center" (see "Became").
The attribution of the H&C-mold hot stamp chips is traced to the Staeffler Memorial California Card Room Guide (2010). The "BAB" on the chips stands for British American Bingo.
