Black Oak Casino phase 2 is now open. It is a very nice looking place
inside, and very spacious. They have added a non smoking casino
completly enclosed in glass with good ventilation. They have a small
bar inside serving liquor after 10 AM daily. The last time I visited,
they only had a few beers. Comp drinks for soft drinks and coffee.
They now have two eating places, and a bowling alley, but it was not
open when I was there.
Gambling? This place caters to the slot players. They have very few VP
machines. There were lots of busses bringing senior citizens from the
valley, and I guess that is what they like. There are a few plays for
the $1 player. I found 8/5 BP and 9/6 DDB in the non smoking area.
You will find a bank of dollar VP machines east of the main bar. Two
9/6 JOB and a few 9/6 DDB.
Quarter player? I thought I found a bank of 3 and 5 play machines with
8/5 BP, but after a few hands,I found it was a rip-off 8/5 paying only
even money on two pairs. I am gone. The best play I found for the
quarter player is a bank of VP near the front door. They had a few
kings Joker Poker 17/7 (98.09%).
They had added a slot club, but I don't know what the details are on
the benefits. They were playing live entertainment, even on a Thursday
morning. Nice set up for a lounge act. They have plans for a hotel
next. I think it will take over the old casino.
