Central Coast Casino — Attraction in Grover Beach

My first time here, passing thru from the bay area to SoCal.

Small 4 table card room. Dealers are very friendly, I was greeted warmly as I walked in the door. I was in a 1-3 NLH game right away. Good mix of regulars and tourists and all the dealers really kept the games moving.

The action was reminiscent of local cardroom. The have progressive bad beat jackpots (currently any quads beaten). I like that the chips were oversized, they had good heft for shuffling and made it easier to tell what players had in their stacks.

The thing I liked the most was they have a deal with the BBQ place next door so you can get a real meal. And tonight I was offered a complimentary meal if tri-tip, potatoes and vegetables which was amazing and was an unexpected surprise and greatly appreciated.

All in all, I would definitely come back...

Great little place. Despite what some reviews say staff is very very friendly. They even take the time to remember your name. Was surprised of this when I hadn’t been for 6 months, came back and most of the dealers still did. Tournaments daily. Complimentary sodas and some snacks. Most people there are locals and regulars. They used to make dinner every night for the players for free, but they charge a very reasonable small amount now. Have returned quite a bit and still enjoy it. Worth a look. Don’t expect a full blown casino, it is 4 poker tables. Typically 2 tables going on average. 3-4 during peak hours. 1 during slower times, so expect to wait for a seat if you go...

Let’s start with the positives. Super friendly staff, warm and welcoming to the room.

Tournaments!!! Need to have a floor person who understands the game and how it is run. They let people antagonize you to make a call, multiple times same guy would be talking the entire time during a hand / all in. Even in multi way pots, never seen any power room in my life allow this.

Definitely won’t be back unless they change the way they run...
