SAN MANUEL INDIAN BINGO & CASINO
San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino is really prospering – - and off of your dollar! We visited here for the first time in almost two years! This place has really taken off like a rocket! When we were here before it was a nice casino . . Now San Manuel is total caos! The space of the casino floor has tripled! The upstairs which has the grand showroom now also houses slot machines and gaming tables!
There were in upwards of 15,000 people in the casino area! What a total mess! Smokers and smoke everywhere! Not an environmentally friendly place at all! The non smokers room was not large at all and smoke was rolling into that room as it was not totally an enclosed room! We noticed that most of the penny slots had been replaced with newer slots that require a person to put at least 50 cents into the machine for every pull! The average person was spending wayyyyy too much money on the slots with little return back! There were no “bells” ringing – which means there were no bonuses being rewarded! Winners are very few at San Manuel!
The food court which used to have great food values now has very high prices! The take out food was over priced. The monthly brochure that San Manuel sends it’s members now has no more food value coupons, so you pay top dollar for all food! They now have a “fine dining” restaurant with extra high prices! We noticed, there is no more public relations staff to welcome you, you are just a “customer” who is worth so much money and that is it! There is no hospitality at this place at all! If you want stress, lots of smoke and want to spend all of your money, then this is the place for you!
All in all – San Manuel is doing fine – financially, but – they are doing fine off of your dollar! Do yourself a favor – if you want to play cards, gamble, play the slots, just go to Las Vegas, Primm, or Jean, Nevada and have a great time where your business will be appreciated and you will get monthly rewards and values with your players card! There are less people and you can actually relax and enjoy yourself!
