I got back from San Diego late last night. The Barona Casino expansion is going to be REAL nice! Looks every bit like an upscale Nevada casino. Lots of neon. All the latest hames from IGT, SDG, WMS, etc. The new pit will have Let It Ride, 3-Card Poker, Carribean Stud, etc. I think they plan to open Wed or Thurs. Some of the slot machines are coin out, some are ticket out. All take tickets in. The tickets will look just like the SDG tickets they've been testing with in the Big Top for a while now.

I also had a very nice meeting with Jim Noll, and got to do a little trading. Jim certainly knows EVERYTHING about his local chipping grounds! Thanks, Jim!

Sorry, no slot card traders.
