$20 coin-in = 1 point (on video poker, otherwise $10 = 1 point on slots) - Cashback: 40 points = $1 (.125% for vp) - Comps: ??? - Bounceback: ??? - They have a tiered slot club. 777 points gets the second level, and 7777 points gets top tier. Not sure what each entitles one to. 2 X points promo seems to run every Tuesday. The NSU slant tops are still in front of Vintage. Denominations are $1/$2/$5/$10, and all DW is NSU. The JoB is typically 8-6, except at the $10 denomination it is 9-6 (99.54%). There are, I believe, at least two other banks of similar machines scattered elsewhere. The 9-6 DDB Progressives are still in the same place. I believe there were 12 instead of 10. The 4-way progressives are for Royal, Quad Aces w/ kicker, regular Quad Aces, and regular Quad 2s, 3s, 4s. Nice looking place. Has a nice hotel attached. Draws from the Fresno area, and was quite crowded on the Sunday afternoon I visited. There are NSUD in front of the Vintage Restaurant 12 Machines in $1,$2,$5, $10, All other games on these machines are short pay. 25c/50c 9/5 DDB Game Makers scattered around casino. $1/$2/$5/$10 9/5 DDB MG/MD Game Maker bank outside high-limit area. 25c/50c 8/5 JoB Game Makers scattered around casino. $1/$2/$5/$10 8/5 JoB MG/MD Game Maker bank outside high-limit area. We eat there from time to time. Food is excellent. Manage to collect a few MP's which make it worth the trip ... 45 minutes. $10 sign up bonus or $5 for taking bus. Too bad the games are poor. Visited Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino this past weekend. We had visited once prior, but this time we actually stayed in the hotel. I'll cover several aspects, but will start with the gambling since I suspect that's what most folks are interested in. Chukchansi is located roughly 40 miles from Fresno on Highway 41. It is just outside of Coarsegold, CA. VP inventory: Altogether there are roughly 90 MD Gamemaker machines at Chukchansi in 11 banks. This differs from other CA indian casinos in the gold country who have 1 or 2 banks only. Of the 11 banks, two are nickel / dime / quarter, 8 are quarter / half / dollar, and one is dollar / 2 dollar / 5 dollar / 10 dollar. this 1/2/5/10 $ bank was right outside the high-limit gaming area, but I did not enter that area to see if there were any additional machines. I also did not check the bar top - location and game details are unknown. Games available were DW, DDB and JOB. That's all I saw. At all levels the DW was painfully short pay, 20 for the dirty royal, 4 for a quad. The JOB was 8/5 at all levels from quarter up, and 6/5 for nickel and dime. DDB was 9/5 at all levels from quarter up, and 8/5 for nickel and dime. Hotel: This is the first time we stayed there. Had a room on the 2nd floor next to the stairs. Quite convenient as the stairs deposited you right into the smoke free section of the casino. The rooms were more than adequate, TV, small fridge, in room safe, coffee maker. Views of the Sierra's. Bathroom had tile floors and granite countertops. Doors were very heavy solid wood. When you shut a door, you could tell the walls were solid, i.e. nothing shook. Couple of other convenient little things like magnets in the bottom corners of the shower curtain to keep it in place. Restaurants: Didn't eat at the Buffet as we just weren't that hungry. But they have one. We did eat at the coffee shop which was good enough to make the 30 minute wait worthwhile. We also ate at the Deuces Diner, which looks like a diner right out of NJ, all chrome, gasoline station signs, 50's music blasting away. This is a fun place to grab a quick bite to eat. Entertainment: We didn't see anything, just stayed the one night. But they have and plan to have big name entertainment. Carrot Top is playing in March and Sinbad sometime in April. There was a jazz band playing in one of the bars Sat night and it was pretty crowded. In general we have a good visit. My wife hit quad Aces twice in the first hour we were there, and I hit quad aces a bit later, (no kickers though). Throughout Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning we both had more than our fair share of quads, but very few straights / flushes / full houses. This made for quite a bumpy ride for the bankroll, but in the end my wife's winnings more than made up for my losses and we ended slightly up. |
