I’ll be making my first trip down to SJ April 16. Was just wondering where the best places to gamble are? Slot machines and black jack. I’ll be staying at SL so if it’s close to there even better. Any info is much appreciated, thank you

I don't gamble because I always seem to lose in a casino. There are really two options close to the SL. There is the Colonial Casino right next to the Del Rey and the Taormina down the hill from the SL. Both are walking distance but I would take a cab / uber at night. Every time I go into the Del Rey, it looks like their casino floor is getting ready to open, machines and tables are on the floor, but something is holding things up. Probably have some unpaid taxes or permit fees.

There are a couple of smaller places on Avenida Central toward the Central Market that I have never stopped in. I would guess they are machines only but could be wrong.

I cannot comment on how "honest" the games are but don't assume that these places are regulated like the casinos in Vegas. Its pretty wild west.

Thanks for the info. I probably won’t do too many machines because of them not being regulated

Holiday Inn Casino would be my second choice to the Colonial Casino both about equal distance from SL
