Shuffling: All tables have Shufflemaster machines installed. Posting: New players do not need to post to enter a game. $1 raked pre-flop, full rake on the flop. $3+1 with 6 players, $2+1 with 5 players. Mostly retirees and other typical low-limit players.

Game Nature: Mostly regulars, some of whom are tricky, but most of whom are rocky and steady. Wait Time: Variable, but there is almost always a seat available. Take the escalator up to the upper floor and the only room on this level is the poker room, through its separate doors (and there are restrooms on this floor, too). Go to the 'Round Bar' near the center of the casino, and look for the escalators. The poker room itself can be a bit tricky to find, even though there are signs in a few places in the casino to lead you there. Park in the westernmost parking garage for easier casino access (the eastern one is for the hotel, and they really encourage valet parking there). High-limit poker doesn't take place there that often these days, though an occasional 20/40 game can get going.

The resort is a top-flight 5-star hotel with all the amenities, and the casino is a mix of both low limit and high limit gambling. Pechanga is an extremely upscale resort/casino located about 90 minutes east of Los Angeles, in Temecula California.
