    The casino itself is on the smaller side, but the employees here are extremely friendly

    The staff - Well staffed and they are extremely friendly.  I was surprised things like the players club and small cafes were still open at 3am.  Even Total Rewards closes their players club during the night.  The dealers were the best dealers I've ever met.

    The Casino - Pretty small compared to ThunderValley or Cache Creek but because of that, you won't find this place too crowded.  We're talking less than 1/3 the size of Thunder Valley.  They offered $5 blackjack on a Friday night and there's no problem with finding seats.  The slot machines are limited, you'll find one of almost every type of slot machine.  The machines seem to be on the older side and they lag at times.  Honesly, I wasn't hearing anyone winning on the slots.  There is an automated roulette machine.  no craps.  The card games are also, 1 or 2 of each game (the usual Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker, Pai Gow, Let it Ride, World Series Poker).  They offer a single deck blackjack that let's you surrender, but only pays 1:1 when you get blackjack (or 3:2 if it's suited).  They also had a Spanish 21?

The room was very clean and the maid service was excellent.The casino had a great non smoking area and the food was good and i'm very picky! I had one machine that paid off everyother pull and the. So I can honestly say..great time...oh and I had no problem find Black Oak......thx, Larry and Rene

    Came here two nights in a row during our recent stay at a mountain cabin nearby. Pleasantly surprised the first night, which is why we came back again. The large non-smoking section really is a plus. We only really play slot games (penny slots), so there were tons to chose from in the non-smoking section. The second night we were quite lucky and walked out about $15 richer. The whole casino seemed very clean to me. Parking was very easy in their parking structure. The second night we ate at the Black Oak Cafe. The food was good - not spectacular, but a good deal for the nightly themed buffet. I find it really odd that others would mark down the casino in their reviews because their GPS didn't work all the way there. What did people EVER do before GPS? I'd definitely go back if I was in the area again.

    So let me first off say that I'm basing my review of this Casino based off of other experiences I've had with other Indian Casinos. Those other Indian Casinos are Cache Creek, Thunder Valley, Colusa, Red Hawk, and Jackson Rancheria. That said, I like all those other Casinos and I hated Black Oak. Also, I'm a casino junky who loves slots and sports betting but I never play card games.

    First off, the drive to get there from Sacramento sucked. No signs and little cell reception so my GPS didn't work. If you're coming from Modesto, the drive isn't as bad, but if you're in Sacramento, don't waste your time.

    Then when I get there, more disappointment. The slot machines are out dated and broken. Most of the machines were the old ones with the screens that look dim and like they're about die. They did have some new games, just very few.

    There seemed to be hardly any cocktail waitresses. I was there for a couple of hours and only got offered a drink once.

    Their promotion are weak to none

    The one good thing I can say is their gas station actually had gas priced cheaper than what I filled up for in Sacramento before I left. My personal recconmendation is to visit any of the other casinos I listed at top if you're in the Sacramento area looking to gamble.

    We came here for the Buffett only and it was awful.  The oysters were stale and had freezer burn, the prime rib was very dry, the eggs Benedict was cold.  The only descent thing was the shrimp.  The staff was nice, which was the only highlight.  Overall, would not recommend the buffet here.

    This Review is on the Mill sports bar & Grill-this was the first time coming here and the last time. The restuarant atmosphere was good nice tv's and decor but the service was horrible. It took a long time for my server to come over and greet us. we got our food which looked good but did not taste good. my husband got fish tacos and the tortilla was all soggy and could not hold the food in them so they were definelty not tacos. I ordered the ground beef nachos which was piled high with all the fixings. About hour later i had gotten food poisioning. And i mean every symptom associated with food poisioning i have had for the past six days. this has been a horrible experience. I even called the ca  health the dept to advise them of my experience and to my suprise there is nothing they could really do about it beacuse its and Indian Reservation. so no health rules apply to them, the health dept said they coud only advise them. So please do not go eat there unless you really would like to self sabatage your body.

    I've been here on a number of occasions. They've made a lot of improvements on both the building and gaming. They have a hotel under construction, and have a gas station/convenience store on site.

    Gaming - There are a few cheap poker tournaments throughout the week. It's very casual and pretty fun. Payouts are good for the entry fee. Low takeout fees. If you're into computerized gaming, it seems like they have a pretty good variety, and there are a few non-smoking sections within the casino floor. I do not gamble enough to know about their comp program other than the occasional free food voucher.

    Bowling - This is usually the root of why I come here. I've been here for fun and a few bowling tournaments that were hosted here. World class bowling center, just that it's 24 lanes. It's a palace. No need to go to Vegas because it's just in our backyard. Lane conditions are easy, even for the casual bowler. Downside is that it's located pretty far from the parking garage, so make sure if you have a lot of bowling balls for your tournament, you use a roller bag.

    Food - I usually go for the cafe with the buffet option. The options are limited during the day, but $8.00 for lunch is a great value. They have a cafe/diner menu, on top of the buffet option, and their sandwiches are awesome. If you have a comp card, make sure you check the mail for your food/drink coupons. Service is also usually really good.

    Parking - They have a new parking garage. It's not as difficult as it used to be to get from the parking lot and into the building. If you bring bowling balls - it's like when you go to one of those Vegas casino/bowling palaces, you're going to take a long walk.

    Yay! I'm a fan.

    Black Oak Casino is extremely clean and always feels brand new.  I only come here about once every 18 months which is just enoug time or them put in a hotel, or a giant gas station with a mini mart, a 5 story parking structure, or a new restaurant.  The games are brand new with giant video displays, lights galore, ad even 3D video.  I highly recommend coming here whether you like to gamble or not.  For families they have a buffet and bowling:arcade games in the basement.

    This is a Review for the Black Oak Cafe... We were in the area and didn't feel like cooking that night when we got back to our cabin in Twain Heart, so we decided to check out the Black Oak Casino and try one of their restaurants.

    Having never been to the Black Oak Casino I found it easy to find and parking was a breeze in their parking garage (note to self, just make sure to remember what floor you actually parked on, lol.).  It's been awhile since I've been in any casino and I have to admit, I sure don't miss the cigarette smoke that hits you as soon as you walk in, but unfortunately your reminded of that smell when you walk into Black Oak, anyways, other than that it looked like your typical Casino.

    We heard about Seven Sisters and thought we would head up stairs to check out the menu first before making any decisions. Boy is that an expensive restaurant!  The menu looked amazing but not being prepared to pay that kind of price for dinner we decided to skip it and head down to the Black Oak Cafe for what ever buffet dinner they where having.  

    It was a Saturday Night which was luckily their Prime Rib Night!  We quickly got seated and got our drink order taken by our waitress.  I actually kind of felt sorry for our waitress that night, it seemed like she was the only one working the floor and actually taking orders, which meant our drinks came out pretty slow, but luckily the food made up for it.  

    The buffet offered a huge selection of choices! Your typical peel and eat shrimp cocktail, crab legs, raw oysters, fried shrimp, fried tilapia, fried chicken, pasta, a small salad bar, some veggies, and what looked like an orange chicken. Mostly all where decent and buffet worthy.

    Now on to the main dish, the prime rib!  You walk up to the cutting station and they ask you how you like your prime rib, I got mine Medium Rare.  They give you extra au jue as well.  Next to the carving station is of course mash potatoes, so I grabbed some of those, too. Excited with anticipation, I hurry back to my table, I take my first bite.... I do have to admit, I think that was some of the best prime rib I've ever eaten. Completely impressed, I start taking bits of mash with prim rib dipping it into the au jue and devouring my plate! Wow!! What great Prime Rib... I'm wishing I would have had this first and I would have never even eaten any of that other stuff!

    This amazing Prime Rib Dinner for 2 will cost you about $38.00, you can't beat that! That Prime Rib still makes my mouth water...Great job Black Oaks!

    My wife and I went to Black Oak for the first time last month and I have to say that I was impressed. I have been to Reno and to Las Vegas, but I think comparing them would be like comparing apples and oranges. Vegas is Vegas and Reno is like little Vegas, but both of them are in Nevada which has different laws and social norms. Black Oak was the first California casino I've ever been to, so it set the bar for the rest.

    My wife and I live in the San Joaquin Valley and I was pleased to know that there was a casino within an hour and half drive from our house. The drive up to Black Oak is beautiful through Gold Country. Once in Sonora, the signs directing you to Black Oak are greatly appreciated because we had lost cell service for GPS on my phone. We stayed in the Sonora Inn, in Old-town Sonora, because the hotel at Black Oak was still under construction. Upon arrival at Black Oak, I was pleased to find a parking garage right next to the casino. The casino itself was relatively small (compared to others I've been to) but since we went on a Tuesday night, I didn't feel cramped or crowded. Black Oak has a smoking and a non-smoking section to their casino floor, separated by a large fan/suction system that keeps the smoke from drifting into the non-smoking section. Unfortunately, the non-smoking area only has slot games and all the table games are in the smoking section. They have a wide variety of slot games ranging from 1c to $1 slots. I was slightly disappointed at the lack of variety to the table games and at the number of tables that were open (but then again, it was a Tuesday night). The table games they had were, Single Deck 21, Black Jack, Spanish 21,  Pai Gow Poker, 3 Card & 4 Card Poker, and Texas Hold'em (played against dealer only). They had a video/digital Roulette game, but I very disappointed to find out there was no traditional Roulette offered. They also did not have any craps.

    Overall, I had a great time... but there was one particular black jack dealer that rubbed me the wrong way. My wife and I had been sitting at the table for a while (and doing quite well if I do say so) when they changed dealers. The off-going dealer was very fast at dealing and efficient and knew ALL the rules and even taught me a thing or two that I didn't know. The new dealer was very, very slow and the tempo of the game slowed considerably. Also, I had been doing quite well by doubling down and splitting when I got good hands. One of the first few hands she dealt, I wanted to split on a 20, but she assumed I wanted to stay and closed out the game, possibly causing me to lose out on making more money. The VERY NEXT HAND... I was dealt 20 again, this time I made it VERY CLEAR I intended to split. She had the nerve to ask me "Are you sure?!?" to which I responded with a surprised and put-off "yes." She followed with "Well you know that effects the whole table..." I was so stunned by her attitude that I was almost speechless. I ended up splitting and won both hands. My wife and I promptly left the table after that. I was not going to let some dealer who had no sense of tact or common sense question my gambling strategies. Lots of things effect the whole table... someone enters the game, someone leaves the game, splitting, hitting, staying, Black Jacks, etc...

    We then went to the Black Oak Cafe for dinner and dessert. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of customer service displayed by the staff. We had our waitress, but anytime ANYONE walked past our table (including the busboy), they asked if there was anything they could get us. I never ran out of drink! And the prices and portions were phenomenal too!

    Overall, I had a good time and I appreciate having this diamond in the hills so close to home as to allow  a day-cation when the stress of regular life becomes too great.

    Ok this casino was fun don't get me wrong but there was a few things that disappointed to me to the point that it ranks low enough in the scale of my favorites.

    No hotel on the property but they are in the process of building one so all in good time.

    I was recently informed that here in California they cannot give free alcohol in the casino but it would have been nice if we informed by the waitress that we would be charged for the cocktails because the norm is not to be charged. The non alcoholic beverages were free though.

    Lastly, there was a blackjack dealer that needs to get over herself. My husband likes to split his bets or double down when he gets a good hand and on this particular night he was getting alot of good hands and having alot of success with this. Well when the new dealer came to the table and he told her he wanted to split she ignored him the first time which was kind of a bitch move but we have her the benefit of the doubt. The next bet came around and he got the same hand and wanted to split again and she asks "are you sure?" And my husband says "yes" and she says rudely, "well when you do that is affects the whole table." I am thinking to myself. First of all alot of things affect the whole table. When someone new sits down, when someone leaves, when you hit, when anyone hits, etc. I mean pretty every move affects the whole table and I found it really rude that she did not want him to make the move HE wanted. He also won both bets BTW. After that we cashed out and left because she was rude. I have been to alot of casinos in my life and I have NEVER encountered a dealer like that.

    Other than that this place is nice. They have a no smoking area which is small but can be appreciated. They have a good variety of slot machines and table games so there is alot to do. Overall I would say I had a nice time and would like to come back soon.

    The Mill - Sports bar in basement
    Four adults, two children weeknight.  Service prompt and attentive.  Décor is "Sports Bar" with TV's all over.  Ample menu for all ages.  S-in-Law had New York steak with baked potato, daughter had shrimp Louie [salad], spouse half portion fish and chips [more than enough for an adult] and I had the "Logger" [roast beef sandwich with side salad].  The kids were happy with their choices and refilled drinks.  Total bill was exactly $60.00.  Good food, good service; reasonable prices.

    We have visited the casino and restaurants often, but had such a terrible experience at the Black Oak Restaurant, today, June 10, 2012, that I would rather not go back. In a nutshell, we were ignored by the waitresses for 45 minutes until we finally hailed the busboy to help us get some food. This was the morning shift for breakfast. It seemed as though we were invisible. Keith, the busboy was awesome, and finally got us an order. We were not the only ones this was happening to. Several other couples experienced the same thing. It was disgusting! The lack of service put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day, thus the review.

    Needless to say I walked out!!! As she is calling me back
    For my card...

    Been to Black Oak about 5-10 times since I live about 30 minutes away from this place. Have not had a chance to eat here but I usually play machines and pai gow.

    Came here in May 2011 pretty early in the morning, my friend foolishly left her purse between the machines and when we returned about 2 seconds later it was gone. Although we did not find the purse until Sonora's police department called us a few months later, their security was AMAZING and so very helpful.

    They were patrolling the parking lots, bathrooms, security cameras, exits, etc. They took our number down and called us with any updates. I have nothing but the nicest things to say about them.

    This may not be one of the best indian casinos but everyone is super friendly and helpful.

    Negatives: you have to watch your back like any casino, drink prices are high, saturdays are very overcrowded and the drive is scary at night.

    Roxy and I love BOC! Very fun atmosphere and can win sometimes. Always have to keep a good attitude when you game anywhere, and Black Oak and their staff make that possible. Seven Sisters is top notch, probably best service and quality of food for 50 miles, comparable or better than the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. Used to live too close by, so frequent visits = buh bye cash. Have won pretty good money on occasion, so it keeps us coming back although less frequently now. Staff that we have known for years always remember us by name even if we haven't come in for a year or two. They also keep a pretty close eye on clientele and get rid of the riff raff when necessary to keep everyone's experiences great! Tip: late night - early morning breakfast is the freakn BOMB!

    Cool Bowling. Rough rules Nazi. So some lane attendant didn't want me to put my beer on the table of some sort. Guess it was only for score sheets. Told me not to grab the ball when a 3 yr old rolled it about 12 inches and it was stuck in the gutter and for the ...and something else. In the 5 minutes I was there meeting some friends, got yelled at thrice!  Lame. But the place seemed cool. They just hired the wrong customer service agent.

    It was too much in a fun place oh - ON New Year's EVE!  Complete lock down.

    The most unenjoyable gaming experience of my life.  The drive is beautiful though.

    The atmosphere is unexciting.  No flashing lights or excited screams from patrons nor happy faces.  It seemed to me that some folks were dragged here against their will.  

    I stayed about 20 minutes after downing a beer and left.

    Not coming back.  I'll go to Jackson or another place before venturing here again.

    Quick tip:  Make sure your GPS stays on because service in those parts is spotty.

    This is for the coffee shop!

    I went here today because my company sponsored a bus trip for a bowling team.  I got off the bus and went to grab breakfast before heading back to the Valley.  I ordered the eggs benedict florentine with fresh fruit and coffee.  My friend had the Denver omelette.  The eggs were poached to perfection with a runny center and firm whites and the Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch!  Between the ham and the eggs were fresh thinly sliced tomatoe and fresh spinach.  The fruit was freshly cut and sweet!  The coffee was great.

    My friend said her omelette was delicious  - the ham was cut from a large from ham and the peppers were also fresh.

    The service was very polite and attentive and the modern decor highlighting Indian artifacts was attractive.

    This is one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time!

    4 stars because I won $403.50 on a penny slot on a bonus game!

    Okay, that's not really the reason, but it does help.  The dealers are friendly, they have new slot machines, nice bar with new TVs, bowling alley and arcade for the kiddies, and they have a lot of food choices.

    My grip about this place is... IT IS HARD TO FIND!  Most Indian casinos that I have been to have signs plastered everywhere, but we had such a hard time finding this place!  And don't depend on your GPS!  There is almost no signal in the area, so it makes you backtrack and take all these weird residential streets.  Black Oaks, YOU NEED MORE SIGNS!  Promote the shit out of your cute casino!

    So I received an e-mail from Staff at Black Oak re an observation I had made about the cleanliness of the Restrooms today, and decided to take another look at the Casino.  What I found was the situation remedied, and that being said, back to 4 stars for me.  Still my favorite Indian casino,  
     Though the Buffet is weekends only, they are offering nicely priced entrees every night.  Tonight,Tuesday, was Tri-Tip Tuesday.  Both FF and I enjoyed the salad and soup bars, andf were served a plentiful plate of Sliced Tri-tip, with Veggies nicely cooked, and Potatoes.  Two tri-tip dinners and cold drinks with soup and salad bar 22 bucks out the door.
     Would go for the fifth star but beverage service on the casino floor is still wanting.  Also bear in mind that these are comparative to other Indian gaming in the Northern California area,  comparing apples to apples, not the places at Vegas or the big So Cal tribal halls.
    One more note, they now have a Fuel station with cold drinks, coffee  and refreshments, with fuel prices lower than in the valley.

    Very unfriendly.  Never even made it inside.  When my wife and I arrived, we parked our RV in the parking lot and were just stepping out when a very overzealous casino shuttle driver yelled at us.  She demanded to know if we were planning on spending the night there (No...I don't think so).  I tried to make nice with her, but she continued to be just as rude as possible.  All we wanted was a little dinner and maybe a few hands of blackjack...but after experiencing such a warm greeting in the parking lot, we just drove on.  We visit Indian casinos frequently but will not be going back to this one.

    Do not eat at the buffet on the main level on Sundays! Only $12.99 and I know why. GROSS!!! Everything was drenched in salt, and the fish n chips were even yucky. How do you do wrong with fried food?? The desserts were all very bland, not much of a selection, and the presentation of the food was awful.  The service was good I will admit but the food was horrible. There was a party of 18 with me and I believe everyone had the same complaint. If you're going to eat here, order from the menu! The buffet is NOT WORTH IT!!!

    There customer service is terrible.  I actually even think that they have some scam going on and letting people come up to you and proposition you.  I was shocked when this happened and sat in my friends lap and also said a few choice words.  The bartender said your cut off.  Did they care to hear what happened.  NO!!  You can't assume someone is in the wrong without investigating.  These people had the nerve to come back around again and ask if you want to go to a room.  I couldn't believe they were serious and when I explained to the security they didn't even care.

    First of all let me say that I have been to this casino plenty of times. That said, the only real reason I go to this place is because it is closer to my area. Other than distance this place is not that great. Just go to Jackson Rancheria

    Cons: 1) You will most likely die of dehydration before you get a drink (if a server comes order at least 2 drinks because you may never see them again) 2) A lot of the staff are bitchy and if dealing with you often treat you the customer as a burden 3) You will loose at this place! I love to gamble and do it often and have almost always come out of this place a loser! 4) The casino rarely gives anything back to its club members! Many other casinos give promo and points that help to ease the pain of losing if it happens, but not at Black Oak! If they give you anything (and that's a major IF) then it will be so mediocre that they might as well not have done anything. 5) The coffee at the Black Oak Café is extremely cheap and taste like diarrhea on the good days (don't touch it!). 6) They need better staff on almost every level...the staff energy level is like that of a DMV worker...rude and mostly nonproductive.

    Pros: 1) There is a large nonsmoking room (mostly penny machines) 2) Bowling is available (not 24hr though) 3) Good parking 4) The food is tolerable

    If you can, I highly recommend that you choose Jackson Rancheria over this place! The only thing Black Oak has over Jackson is the large nonsmoking area...that's it!

    The Black Oak Casino is more than just an Indian Casino--it is an entertainment experience!

    Enjoy 5-star dining in the exquisite Seven Sisters Steakhouse, get a cold drink in one on the numerous bars, enjoy Vegas-style gaming on the main floor and let the kids enjoy the bowling center, arcade and family fun center on the lower level.

    Black Oak offers many different dining options including a 24 hour full service cafe and a sports bar & grill "The Mill" adjacent to the family fun center.  

    A beautiful foothill location just outside of Sonora with easy access from Hwy 99 an Hwy 49.

    Black Oak Casino has a bowling alley.  A very nice bowling alley.  The prices for games are fair - though the bar is a different story, charging $5 for a bottle of Corona, what up with that?  Anyhoo, the basement bowling alley allows for us non-gambling types to have a good time while others gamble away.

    First of all, let me say I dont like gambling, but went with a friend because I was bored...She loves the machines....Why, I will never understand...I don't understand why Native Americans (Im a native too, but that's another argument) get away with not adhering to the laws of the state of California regarding smoking...And dont give me that soveirgn nation bullshit...Hated the smoke...The buffet SUCKED...Drinks are way too expensive...You wont see me there ever again...

    Been to the buffet a couple of times, don't bother.  
    Went for a "regular" meal, there were about 4 other diners, got seated and no one every showed up to take our order.  A lot of waitresses standing around talking.  When I finally raised my hand, they all looked, looked at each other and that was that!  I counted to 20, and we got up and walked out.  Obviously they either don't need the money or were too lazy to walk over.

    My friends and I were staying in Twain Harte for Memorial Day weekend. After our spelunking adventure, we cleaned up, napped and headed out to fill our hungry tummies.

    We saw an add for a steak and lobster dinner, and our tummies were feening for it. But when we got to the casino, we realized it was in their fine dining restaurant upstairs, and we weren't about to pay an arm and a leg for a meal in a casino. We settled for the Black Oak Cafe where they had an all you can eat prime rib buffet( <a href="http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/tvZ0RJ0o6x99rz_WFrA2ZQ/l">http://static.px.yelp.co…</a> ). The food was just meh. The prime rib was overcooked and everything else was just your average buffet food. If you're really hungry, this is the way to go, but don't expect Vegas quality buffet food.

    The casino itself wasn't too big. I ended up losing really fast in slots, but I made it up at the Blackjack table. I ended up winning a whopping $40!!! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!

    The cocktail waitress came around to take our drink orders, so of course, we ordered. I got my $1 chip out ready to tip her, and when she came back with my drink, she said $4.50. Excuse me? Did I hear correctly? I'm being charged for my drink??? I guess the rules are different in Indian casinos. No freebies like Vegas.

    If you're in the area, its an ok place to go to kill some time. Just watch out for those drinks...they're not free!

    I am not a gambling woman, but I will go to a casino with my Grandma.  That is just what I did.  We went on her senior trip up to Black Oak.  As soon as we got off the bus, they slapped some stickers on us, so they could identify the bus we belonged to.  The program is a-okay, we got $10 in cash, 10% off the cafe, and 10% for the gift shop.  Complimentary drinks like soda and coffee are free, nice!  I just don't enjoy the loosing money and the smoke smell.  What I enjoyed the most was sitting outside the beautiful building on the benches with my Grandma looking at the trees and the sky.  Very true Native Indian of us.

    I've been here a few times while staying in Twain Harte and it's just another casino, but the jewel here is the downstairs bowling alley. They have quite a few lanes, new shoes and bowling balls and a nice bar setup. If you like to bowl or want to hang out in a sports bar environment, migrate downstairs to the bowling alley/bar.

    Well I guess it's about time I write a review on Black Oak Casino. Have been here a few times when I used to work in Sonora. Win some, lose some, break even, I'm happy. Very good food here, have always enjoyed it. The best time spent here was taking my car in to the dealer in Sonora and getting a loaner which I promptly drove to the casino. Having my car serviced must have been my lucky day cuz I came away a winner. It paid for my service and put an extra 150.00 in my pocket. Now that's what I call a good day.

    Believe it or not, it's my 9 year old's favorite hang out! Yikes, I know! But it's not what you think. You see, there's not much entertainment for kids around here and the family center downstairs in the casino is really great!

    For his 5th birthday, we had a party. Great rates, tons of excellent well-made pizza, lanes to ourselves for two hours and an arcade with tokens too.

    We've come back several times since then and for his 9th birthday, guess what? We did it again!

    I've heard great things about the Seven Sisters Restaurant, so I'll have to hold my breath (through casino smoke) to get up there for dinner one day and have something else to add here.

    I'm not a gambler, however my visits to Black Oak have been positive from reasonable food, friendly staff, great entertainment, bowling.

    My con is that I do not enjoy walking through the casino filled with cigarette smoke.

    The entertaiment venue is "Smoke Free"

    My Grandma freakin' LOVES this place, and I hold her opinion in high regard, so I'm gonna say Black Oak Casino rules!

    I've been here a few times, and have enjoyed every experience...especially since my grammy usually gives me money to gamble with, heck yea!

    Their fine dining also has a very delish champagne brunch.

    A great mid sized casino with FREE live entertainment four nights a week.  Not just for the gambling/night life crowd though.  It has a huge bowling center, arcade, and four restaurants.  You can get everthing from burgers and pizza at the sports bar (lots of giant screen TV viewing) to cafe style food or buffets and even gourmet choices in their upscale restaurant, Seven Sisters.  Gift shop with a variety of items including Native American crafts, Casino logo merchandise, and general gift items.  If you live in the southern Mother Lode region or the Central Valley it's a short scenic drive to Tuolumne.
