Paiute Casino Bishop CA

They have a 6D, DAS, DA2, 3:2, H17,LS against ace only, 80% pen, $3 min game ($5 min this Memorial Day weekend). With my friend this weekend at his vacation home in Big Pine. Played one shoe and had a nice win. Friendly little casino. They give $10 in free VP play to new sign ups. Soft drinks free to players, beer $2. Didn't play their 6/5 Bonus Poker. Bishop is a nice, clean thriving little town. No graffiti or shuttered businesses. Just obey the speed limits approaching and in town--don't get a ticket. (In town it's 25 mph which seems real slow, and there's lots of enforcement.)

Did you count that game? I didn't have any adverse action taken, but both pit people watched my table almost exclusively when I spread 1-6 on that game a couple years ago.

Also, is the price of unleaded in Bishop still $2 over market? It was about $6/gallon when I was there in the Fall of 2012.

You may live in an area with inexpensive gas, I don't know. But 98 unleaded was about 4.03 a gallon. I counted the shoe and spread 1-6 but would have spread more if the count got higher. They don't comp there for table games, only slots and VP, so I played anon.

I did not even know there's a casino in Bishop and I'm passing through next week! Thanks for the timely post!

It' on the north side of town. They have drawings ever hour on the hour (some days) and on the half hour on other days--you'll have to ask. Starts about 3:00 pm on the days it's going on. You must be playing with a player'a card at least 10 minutes before the drawing and be playing at least $5 a hand at table games. They choose one person from table games and two people from the slot floor. You get to choose from 3 envelopes and you can win either $25, $50 or $100. Small casino so your chances of winning are pretty good. Fun little deal.

My brother out in Henderson that travels quite a bit says that there are NO GAS STATIONS per se. They are all called "Desert Refill Stations" and usually charge a premium for fuel, I'd wager a $ to a donut that Diesel out there is at least $6, but I'm outta donuts.

LS against ace only? That's a weird rule.

I know. I've never seen it elsewhere.
