SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - December 17, 2008) - America's premier video poker player, writer
and teacher, Bob Dancer, has officially certified Barona Valley Ranch
Resort & Casino as offering the "Best Video Poker in San Diego." The
certification was determined through an extensive review of the video poker
options at Barona and nine other area casinos. Dancer's expertise has been
highly regarded in the gaming industry since he began his professional
gambling career in 1994 and subsequently authored "Million Dollar Video
Poker" to recount and share his winning secrets.
"After completing a thorough analysis of San Diego's casinos, I have
determined that Barona has the best video poker in the area," said Dancer.
"Barona's casino consistently provides players with excellent chances of
winning and a wide variety of gaming options for all levels of play from 25
cents to $1 to high limit machines."
Barona features over 250 video poker machines with more than 120 multi-hand
video poker machines, including Triple Play, Five Play, Ten Play, Multi
Strike Poker, Fifty Play and One Hundred Play Poker. These machines include
the following popular video poker games: Deuces Wild, Double Double Bonus
Poker, Jokers Wild, Double Bonus Poker, All Star Poker, Jacks or Better,
Aces$ Bonus Poker, Joker Poker and Deuces Wild Bonus Poker.
To summarize his analysis of video poker games in greater San Diego, Dancer
categorized the casinos based on the number and type of video poker games
offered and divided the games into three categories based on the monetary
denomination needed for game play: "Less than $1," "$1" and "Greater than
$1." The casinos then received ratings of "Excellent," "Very Good," "Good,"
"Decent" or "Not Good" in each category. Based on this methodology, Barona
achieved a first place ranking among the reviewed casinos and was the only
casino noted for its "Excellent"
liberal offerings in all three categories.
"We have always strived to enrich our players' experiences with quality
games and great odds," said Rick Salinas, general manager of Barona Valley
Ranch Resort & Casino. "We are pleased to receive Dancer's official video
poker endorsement, adding to the high level of satisfaction our players
have come to expect at Barona."
