Casinos near Lone Pine

Though Lone Pine CA had more than enough to keep us busy, I could not resist visiting these two small casinos.  You know me....

Paiute Palace Indian Casino

The first was in Bishop CA, right along Rt. 395.  We stopped there for lunch on our way down Rt. 395 towards Lone Pine and of course I could not resist trying out the slots.  Lunch was good, hot and tasty and the service friendly. By the way, they have an area you can stay in overnight for $5.00, no hookups but for one night would be fine.  We actually were going to stay there but weather was coming in and we wanted to get to Lone Pine.  Good thing we did, they got snow. 

They have a good variety for a small casino, even having one of my favorite machines.  I did not play more than 20 minutes though, so did not win anything to speak of.   The Players Club gave $10.00 play money and the staff were very friendly and sweet.   Would go back if in the area and would give it a 3 out of 5.

Fort Independence Casino
Independence CA

Talk about small, this casino, which is in Independence CA, was attached to the local Indian gas station/quik stop store but hey, it had good reviews so I checked it out.  (not surprised on that are ya?)  The casino had only about 50 machines but both Keith and I won a few bucks.  He more than me.....  They had a good variety and the staff were friendly.  Nothing extra in the way of a Player"s Club but for the 20 minutes we were there, no big deal.  It was actually fun to be in one so small.  If you are in the area, stop by, you will get a kick out of it.  Out of 5, I give it a 2 because no extras. 

See ya later..Brenda
