Shuffling: Shufflemaster machines on 40 of the 60 tables. Posting: New players do not need to post to enter a game. Rake: 3 + 1 jackpot on all limit games up to 8/16, 4 + 1 jackpot on all limit games from 20/40 up and on all no-limit games.

By the time you hit 20/40, it's mostly good players. As with all such popular poker rooms, the higher the limits, the better the players, generally.

Overall, very beatable games that are looser than anything you'll find in Las Vegas. It's generally more of the same in the 4-8 games (which are very popular), though you may run into a few competent players at that limit. The 2-4 and 3-6 games feature lots of retirees and inexperienced recreational gamblers. Low-limit action rules this room, and the games are generally very loose and passive. Stud and Omaha generally only run during the main part of the day, though Omaha can run well into the night. This joint is jumping 24 hours a day and there are always hold 'em games going. Wait Time: Not usually very long at all, especially if you're not super-picky about limits.

3/6 ($1 ante/$1 bring-in)- sometimes runs, always at least an interest list.

sometimes 2/4, with 0.50 ante and bring-in (even more rare than 3/6).

3/6 full kill - usually one table, sometimes two.

But San Manuel has got you covered with a really great room. There are no other poker rooms for at least 40 or 50 miles in any direction.

You drive right to the edge of town, but you don't have to drive on any winding 30-mile-per-hour roads along canyon edges to get here.

Unlike most Indian casinos, San Manuel is not in a remote mountain area, but is nestled in the foothills of the Tehachapi mountains while still inside a Los Angeles suburban area. Call Guest Services at San Manuel for suggestions. Note that there is no hotel connected to San Manuel: if you want to stay here you will need to make other arrangements. Take 210 east to the Highland Ave exit (note: this is after 210 stops being an interstate highway and becomes CA-210), go east to the next major intersection at Victoria Avenue, turn left, and drive until the street ends at the San Manuel parking garage. San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino is a massive gambling complex in the foothills of Highland, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. San Manuel, seen from the tour-bus entrance Hours
