The food at the SteakHouse was five star - three appetizers between two of us was about all we needed. As is typical, a lot of players want to see a lot of flops, and that is a formula for losing money. The game was soft, and my wife and I both won at the 1/2 game. Masks are worn by almost all except when taking a sip of beer ($6.00). The tables are set up SEVEN HANDED with plexiglass separating players and the dealers. Only the 1/2 and 2/3 games were going the two days we were there. to 2:00 a.m., and has good action with a waiting list.

We hit a couple of nice jackpots on the Buffalo machine, but gave it back elsewhere.

The slot machines, like everywhere, are a little too tight for my taste, although we broke even after venturing about $200. Slot machines have plexiglass shields, protecting players from each other, and masks are required generally everywhere. Your temperature is checked as you enter the property and, if you pass, you wear a sticker that's good for the day. We took a 'corner balcony suite' at $300 a night (King balconies are only $100 mid-week), and luxuriated in a spacious room with a technologically advanced bathroom (TV in the mirror). Chumash Casino is an easy 2 hour drive from Los Angeles.
