Bear River Casino Resort in Humboldt, California, US, has turned its gift shop into a gaming area featuring 20 slot machines and a blackjack table.
The resort’s previous gaming offerings were housed in its dedicated gaming floor, the Bear River Pump and Play fuel station and its mini mart.
However, speaking to the Eureka Times Standard, Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria economic development director, Dakota McGinnis, said: “We want to appeal to the younger generation, to a younger crowd, and give them an opportunity for some good, safe, clean fun.
“This will give them the feel of going to an entertainment destination and being a part of it, just on the outskirts of it.”
The Eureka Times Standard said the blackjack table will have a live dealer on Friday and Saturday nights from 5pm until midnight.
Bear River Casino Resort general manager John McGinnis said three-dollar blackjack has been brought back “for those with a little tighter budget, and we wanted to include them in all our fun here at Bear River Casino Resort.”
