Deuces Wild Casino



Use the Auburn Ravine Road exit off I-80, about 40 miles east of Sacramento. The casino is just a couple blocks east on the frontage road, behind an "organic market".

Games
Wait Time: usually only one table is running, unless it's prime time. Wait time is either negligible or long, depending on if there's a seat open.

Game Nature: locals who can get wacky at the NLHE. Although the once-weekly Tuesday high-limit game is called the "action game" in these parts, there's plenty of action at the 2/3 as well. Nobody came here to this out-of-the-way place to fold cards all night long!

Rake: $4 per hand + $1 jackpot if the pot is $20.

Posting: New players need not post.

Shuffling: Hand shuffled.

Kills: No kills.

Atmosphere
Tables and Chairs: In general, the equipment at Deuces Wild is showing its years: worn green felt on the tables, red vinyl armrests with inset cupholders that have seen better days. The chairs are standard fixed-leg metal chairs, not particularly comfortable. Cushions are available.

Parking: A few dozen parking spaces in the parking lot out front, a few dozen more in the neighboring lot or on the street.

Smoking: No smoking in the casino/bar, under California law.

Service and Comps
No food service, but plenty of drinks from the bar. The recent ownership change means they can't yet serve hard liquor, only bottled beer.

There's a self-serve soda fountain along one wall - just help yourself.
