Gaming Floor
Bear River Casino Resort operates 331 slot machines and a 16-table pit. The table spread is notable for its blackjack-format depth: 4 Deck Blackjack, 6 Deck Spanish 21, Blackjack Double Deck, Bonus Spin Blackjack, Double Deck Spanish 21, and 6 Deck War Blackjack alongside Craps, Mystery Card Roulette, Pai Gow Poker, and video poker.
Spanish 21 in 6-deck form is the stripped-deck alternate-blackjack option.
Pai Gow Poker provides the split-hand format.
Six distinct blackjack-family formats at a 331-machine property is unusual and suggests the casino has specifically invested in game variety for blackjack players. Mystery Card Roulette uses a card-based randomization system standard for California tribal casinos.
