SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - November 2, 2010) - Barona Resort & Casino, San Diego's award-winning gaming destination, is raising the stakes with a newly expanded and enhanced "Chipless Arena." The "Chipless Arena" features the latest innovation in chipless gaming including new chipless Three-Card Poker games, which are the first to debut at any casino in the nation.
Earlier this year Barona was the first casino in the U.S. to launch chipless games, manufactured by Shuffle Master. Due to increased customer demand, additional chipless games have been recently added to the "Chipless Arena" including Chipless Baccarat™, Chipless Roulette™ and Chipless Blackjack™.
"We continue to receive positive feedback from our players about the chipless games because they combine the excitement of traditional games with the latest technology available," said Mike Patterson, vice president of table games of Barona Resort & Casino. "By expanding our Chipless Arena, our players have more opportunities to play and win in a fun environment."
Just like standard table games, chipless games use standard playing cards and live dealers but there are no chips to worry about as all wagers are made on individual touch screens and results are verified electronically. The chipless games appeal to players of all levels because they are easy to play, offer the best odds in North America and the advantage of lower minimum bets.
The casino's "Chipless Arena" also features new audio visual effects including several 65-inch flat-screen televisions displaying sports games, as well as live broadcasts of Barona's chipless dealers in action.
In total, Barona has over 80 chipless and traditional table games. Conventional games include Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, Caribbean Stud, Barona Craps, Barona Roulette, Three-Card Poker, Four-Card Poker, Mississippi Stud and Let It Ride.
For players looking for exciting slots action, Barona features 2,000 loose slot and video poker machines. With the help of the Barona Loose Troop™, many of Barona's slots have been certified by the manufacturer that their machines are set as loose as they can be and guaranteed not to be looser anywhere else through the Manufacturer's Best Payouts program.
