Regarding double deck in Reno in my experience. Any game where they burn a quarter deck or more off the top is considered unplayable in my book. Sands, Cal Neva, Harrahs seem to be the worst about it but any of the Eldorado properties deal it normally burn one and go. I've seen upwards of 75...

I guess it all depends on your bankroll. Western Village and Alamo are both on my list as I am a tiny stakes player but I'm sure for others Peppermill, Atlantis, GSR, and most big Downtown casinos would be a better bet if you play at higher stakes, which actually kinda sucks because the best...

I just returned from a 4 day trip to Reno I stayed at Eldorado and play primary at the big three Eldorado Silver Legacy and Circus Circus as well as Cal Neva downtown. The best games in town are in Sparks At Western Village and at Alamo both allow double on any two cards single deck. I saw 70...

Went to visit Spokane Tribe Casino last night and was pretty unimpressed. The place seemed rushed to open it was quite small as was expected but only had one window for cashier and for the players club with lines stretching across the building. I didn't play any blackjack as I didn't want to...

According to my local news they should have 12 table games at opening, of those I'm sure at least half will be blackjack or possibly Spanish 21. The main competitor Northern Quest Casino open since the early 2000's a few miles down the road offers six deck blackjack and Spanish 21. I'm hoping...

Thanks for the input. I'll try to get down there and take a look. I'm sure being a tiny card room and all that heat would come quick if one were to exploit such an opportunity. I never really know where surveillance is in these tiny places but I'm guessing it's a small room with nothing better...

Looking through cbjn, a little outdated but quite interesting. Here in my home state of Washington there's a store about 2.5 hours from me and it shows its a typical Washington state card room with only 5 total tables one h17 dd, a couple six deckers, and Spanish 21. The note in the cbjn page...

Just got back home to Spokane. Overall trip was a great success I had doubled my trip bankroll the second day in Reno, with a spectacular run at sd at Silver Legacy on Tuesday. But took a little loss from that after poor conditions at Western Village as well as this morning at SL. I saw zero HC...

In Reno right now. It's going great. Everyone is so friendly and helpful staying at SL on the hotel side of things, I'm impressed so far. Also seeing 75-80% pen on double deck at SL and had a good run this afternoon as well as at the single deck this morning collecting 15 units on sd and 25...

I like the Alamo, I played at an uncrowded table in the afternoon on a weekday last time so I'll definitely stop by again but I know it's pretty sweaty. Not gonna go to Diamonds this time though lol, can't drag my lady into that dump.

Hello all, I'm making another trip to Reno on Monday but this time with my lady for my birthday a few weeks back. And was wondering about current conditions, I'm a tiny stakes player with pretty limited skills but I spread within my comfort range 1-4 or 5 in red. I play single deck exclusively...

Hello first time posting I currently play part time and went through Reno in two parts, one nights stay on the way to and from California earlier this year. I enjoy reading everyone's trip reports and thought I'd make my own. I'm a tiny stakes player I haven't been counting for very long and...
