From what I've seen lately online my normal rotation of stores in northern Nevada has changed, they're dropping like flies. Either the casino decides to remove table games completely, or have them temporarily closed with an unknown reopen date, or some are just closing in general, as seen with Harrah's Reno and lakeside inn. I like the area and have made several trips in the past couple years, but it's pretty bleak right now and I won't have any free time for at least another year. I know some of these places are not on the rotation of most here, but for me playing tiny to low stakes it's nice having options to scout out games, I've found decent pen on both DD and SD in some of these casinos on occasion, just depending on dealer

Downtown

Harrah's- closed indefinitely

Circus Circus- no more table games, replaced with electronic blackjack/craps/roulette

Sparks

Rail City- table games closed, not sure about reopen date???

Western Village- no more table games??? Possible reopening??? Have not confirmed if pit has been removed or not

Alamo- need to confirm, they only had like 3 tables anyway I wouldn't doubt it's closed too, a shame since it used to be a good game

Reno

Bonanza- no more table games, pit removed, replaced with new slots

Diamonds- need to confirm, not sure I'd want to touch cards/ chips in that dump anyway, played there once, 30 minute session was enough grossness for me

Tahoe/ Carson City

Lakeside Inn- closed
indefinitely

Gold Dust West- website doesn't currently advertise table games, just slots and sports book

Yeah it is sad. I discovered Reno in 2017 after 2 years of playing, there were so many good games (Sands had SD DOA PLUS DAS!!). Had my best trip ever and doubled my $15k bank in 3 weeks.

Last trip there was a year ago.

Is Boomtown still open? They let you DOA which is great.

Basically you're left with Silver Legacy/Eldorado/Cal Neva downtown, and GSR/Atlantis/Peppermill south.

Was sad when Nugget went to crap DD, they took SD action well. So no reason to go to Sparks anymore, no playable BJ in Carson or Tahoe either.

Lol Diamonds is such a POS casino haha. Dealer shuffled on me after going over $25. Alamo was good long before I got there in 2017 when they had crazy rules.

Boomtown appears to be open, that's good at least one place available with DOA,

Peppermill and Atlantis should have at least D10 games with more tables than boomtown, but I felt slight heat last time 2 years ago at pepp, especially at my low stakes, after two winning insurance bets, the pit phone rang from above, they looked at the table, and me then decided it was time to change cards I colored up and left after, they did have a reputation for being sweaty in years past

Nugget probably has crap DD but I'll still take a look around next time since my Sparks list of stores has diminished

I wouldn't bother with Sands if their SD is 6:5 still, and they burnd like half the deck on DD like Harrah's did

They were prob just changing cards. The eye calls down when dealers come/go to break, when tables close, when cards are changed every 2-4 hrs. Lots of reasons for phone to ring that don't include you!

But good call, if you think there's heat leave and come back next week or different shift.
