About Diamond Casino Reno

Diamond Casino Reno is a boutique commercial casino in Reno, Nevada, operated by Tao Cheng. The property opened in 2015 and holds a gaming license issued by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. It is a smaller-scale operation by Reno standards — 60 gaming machines and 7 table games — occupying a niche as an intimate alternative to the larger resort casinos along South Virginia Street and the downtown corridor. The minimum gambling age is 21, and the floor operates 24 hours a day.

Diamond Casino Reno markets under the name “Diamonds Casino Reno” on its website (diamondscasinoreno.com) and across social channels — Instagram (@diamondscasinoreno) and X (@DiamondsCasino). The property’s contact phone is (775) 323-1908 and email is Contact@diamondsreno.com. The Gem Club loyalty program is active on-site, rewarding regular play.

As a 2015-era property, Diamond Casino is one of the newer commercial gaming licenses in Reno. Its scale positions it differently from the big-box resort casinos: the floor is designed for local and regional visitors who prefer a less crowded environment rather than the full resort-scale footprint of a property like the Peppermill or Grand Sierra. ADA accessibility and a spa are listed among the detected features, adding to the venue’s convenience profile.

Gaming Floor

The Diamond Casino Reno floor runs 60 gaming machines — a small bank by Reno standards, but sufficient for an intimate play session. The machine selection covers standard slots alongside continuous slot machine promotions tracked through the Gem Club rewards program and the property’s promotions page.

Table games number 7 in total, with a game menu that mixes Nevada standards with a few less-common variants. Blackjack and American Roulette anchor the table section, while Pontoon — a blackjack variant with different hitting and standing rules compared to standard 21 — adds an option for players seeking variation from the traditional game. Two proprietary poker-style table games are also in the mix: Diamond Poker and Easy Poker, which appear to be house-banked variants distinct from the live poker room offerings. For visitors exploring casinos in Reno, Diamond Casino’s distinctive game menu is a differentiator from the more standardized tables at larger properties.

Poker Room

Diamond Casino Reno operates a 2-table live poker room offering 5 Card Poker and 7 Card Poker cash games, with periodic tournaments. For a small Reno property, a dedicated live poker room with two tables is a meaningful commitment to the poker demographic — most boutique casinos of this scale omit live poker entirely.

The 2-table format means seat availability can be tight during peak hours. Visitors planning a poker-focused trip to Nevada poker rooms should call ahead to (775) 323-1908 to check seat availability and the current game schedule before traveling specifically for poker. Tournament dates and buy-in structures vary; confirm the calendar directly with the poker desk.

Dining and Amenities

Diamond Casino Reno lists a buffet and restaurant among its confirmed amenities. Buffet operations at boutique Nevada casinos vary in scope — at a 60-machine property, the dining offering is typically a smaller-format program rather than the large daily buffets found at major Reno resorts. The property also provides self-parking and valet service, which is notable for a smaller operation. ADA accessibility is a detected feature, and a spa is listed among the amenities.

The 24/7 operating schedule means dining is available around the clock, but specific outlet hours within that window may vary. Contact the property at (775) 323-1908 or Contact@diamondsreno.com for current buffet hours and dining options before planning a meal-focused visit.

The Gem Club — Loyalty Program

Diamond Casino Reno operates The Gem Club as its player rewards program. Points accumulate on slot machine play and eligible gaming activity. The program is tied to the property’s promotions page (has_promotions_page: TRUE), which suggests active comp offers and bonus events. Confirm current tier structures, earn rates, and redemption options at the players desk or via diamondscasinoreno.com.

★ Editor note

Diamond Casino Reno — a small-scale property with a distinctive game menu and live poker

Opened in 2015 under owner Tao Cheng, Diamond Casino Reno distinguishes itself from the big-box Reno resorts through its boutique scale and game variety. The presence of Pontoon, Diamond Poker, Easy Poker, and a 2-table live poker room in a 60-machine property reflects a deliberate game-mix strategy. The Gem Club loyalty program and active promotions page suggest a focus on repeat local business. Visitors who prefer a less crowded gaming environment over a full resort experience should confirm current hours and seat availability at (775) 323-1908 before visiting.
