I thought I saw a casino near papas and beer at the end of the block on that main drag. I doid not go inside though.

Do they even have one? I would like to know where. Wish there was a good one with card games in Tijuana.

Many of the Caliente betting places now have gambling machines. Putting more money into Jorge Hank Rhon's pockets sickens me though.

I'll ask my buddy about this. He has an internet cafe nearby. There was a casino there back in the mid 1900s - it is now the Cultural Center for Ensenada.

The Caliente machines are not slot machines. They are class II gaming machines or bingo machines. Yes, they are bingo machines. If you take a close look at one you'll see the bingo balls/numbers just above the fake reels. The slot machines you play at real casinos (Viejas, Sycuan, Pechanga, etc.) are class III just like in Vegas. The difference between them is really drastic. For one thing on class II you are playing against other people not the slot machine itself. Also, the payback percentage is TERRIBLE!!! I work in the business...that's why I know this!

Okay, just heard from my buddy, Omar, and he says the slot machines do not pay in cash but give you a prize. That prize can be redeemed for cash - thereby going around the law against casinos in Mexico. It is named Rio. Beyond that, you should make the trip and check it out.

No machines pay cash anymore. Gone is the rush noise of a thousand quarters falling. Not in Tijuana, Indian casinos, Las Vegas nor Renos.
