I have probably been to Pechanga playing at that table about 10 times. I have not found another casino in the area that does, with the exception of high limit. The single deck table, with a $10 minimum, pays off 6:5 on Blackjack, taking away the edge card counters would get, though the fact that they even offer single deck Blackjack is pretty amazing. The only drawback is that they don't offer surrenders, which, of course, nobody does, because it would destroy the house edge. They also follow all other standard Blackjack rules. That payoff basically makes Blackjack an almost even odds game, with only the slightest house edge. That's because I only play at the $5 table, of which they only have one, but that table pays 3:2 on blackjacks, which no other casino in Southern California, as far as I can tell does. But I play Blackjack as it should be played. I personally don't play poker, so other people will have to review that. No gambler who knows the odds plays slots.
Slot machines are vacuum cleaners, they suck out your money. The reason I gave a one star rating to the slots has nothing to do with Pechanga in particular, it's just that anyone who thinks slot machines are 'gambling' is an idiot. First of all, to put this review in context - I gamble an average of once a month, and I only play blackjack.
