Best of Southern California GamingTM Reader’s Choice Best Casinos 2012

Every year, for the past ten years, voting is based on readers’ opinions of the 23 Southern California Indian casinos. is year, there were 15 categories and a total of 46 awards (one award
had a tie). Readers had already voted for Best Slots 2012, which we published in the June issue, which included casino- related slot awards. So some of the Best Casinos 2012 also won awards in June.
Casinos are always thrilled to have your votes, as only you, Southern California casino players, can determine the best casinos. We know these awards go to the best of the best, as all Southern California casinos, in our estimation, are winners.
Congratulations to all Best Casinos 2012 winners! As we have seen over the years, there are repeat winners, along with a few surprises in a few categories. For those casinos consistently at the top, it’s a measure of their constant awareness that they must change with the times to continue to create the best gaming entertainment with more chances to win, and deliver what guests want — more value.
