Machines don't pay well at all. The Casino is very smokey. The food used to be very good...not the case anymore.
Actually hit 4 of a kind. Lots of penny slot machines and nickel machines. Cocktail service, restaurant and lounge. Only stayed an hour. That was enough
I was with relatives who gamble (I don't) and I was driving so I ended up in this run of the mill casino. Boring. One day, some tribe will get the smarts, ban smoking, and laugh all the way to the bank.
As very committed non-smokers (but lovers of slot machines), we had to give Paiute Palace a go as we were in Bishop for the night anyway. We normally frequent Strip casinos in Vegas where the smoking is hardly an issue so it was with a little bit of trepidation that we entered PP. smoke wasn't an issue for us at all so I guess we picked a good night. Casino was relatively busy. Small, not a massive variety of machines to play but we came out ahead, had a great night. Staff were great, didn't eat in the cafe though.
A smallish casino but at times, who knows when, you can win big here. The staff is friendly but the guy at the door looks so bored with his job that I would dump him if I ran the place. Doesn't even look at you when you enter he just sits at an elevated desk holding his head up with both hands. Real classless act is the first thing you see when you walk in.
This is a small, cramped, musty, noisy, smelly casino whose main draw is gasoline a few cents cheaper than the surrounding places (on 395 between Reno and LA, that is a big draw.) The bathrooms are dismal!
At mule days, I won $10.00 on a free spin and on my first pull, I won a penny jackpot.....a few hundred bucks....Bought myself a new pair of boots. Thank you guys. Also have to say that your fried chicken dinner is some of the best fried chicken I have ever had....$13.95....Try it....it is good.....
For a good meal at a good price, this is one of best places to go to in Bishop, CA. They have a good variety on the menu. Get a player's card, even if you don't gamble so you can a discount on your breakfast meal. Unfortunately there is cigarette smoke in the casino area.
A small run-down casino. Forget eating here. If you love the slots, this is the only place in Bishop.
New casino and restaurant, pleasant place. Food and service average, but the price is right. You seat yourself, noise from the casino is not too intrusive, of course they want you to hear the payouts in the casino to entice you to drop some money - nothing wrong with that!
