Paiute Palace Casino celebrates July 4th a day early
Wednesday, July 8, 2008

The holiday weekend began with a bang on Thursday, July 3rd, when the Paiute Palace Casino presented an afternoon and evening of fireworks, food and fun.

A traditional barbeque kicked off the festivities at 3pm and served hearty hamburgers and hotdogs until well after 8pm. A live band featuring local group, Flashback, kept the crowd entertained with rock ‘n roll hits for more than 4 hours. Children and adventurous adults enjoyed the rock climbing wall that proved, once again, to be a great attraction. Many citizens sought respite from the hot and breezy afternoon inside the Casino where hourly drawings of $20 gas vouchers for the Paiute Palace Gas Station were given away to lucky winners. Shortly after 9pm the fireworks lit the night sky in a spectacular display of color, noise and light.

“We would like to thank all of the agencies who worked with us to make this event such a great success,” said Gloriana M. Bailey, General Manager of the Paiute Palace Casino.

In planning for the event the Bishop Paiute Tribe Environmental Management Office (EMO) provided the permit for the fireworks show and surveyed the surrounding area for potential hazards. The Tribe’s Community Development Department (CDD) provided a water truck and irrigated the fields and the Paiute Palace Gas Station closed its pumps to minimize any risk of fire. Notwithstanding all the above, the Bishop Fire Department was on hand in the event of any unforeseen incidents.

Other agencies involved were the Inyo County Road Department for the temporary closure of Pa Ha Lane, CalTrans for signage permits along Highway 395, Highway Patrol for traffic management along the 395, the Inyo County Sheriff’s Department and the Bishop Police Department.

A well coordinated team effort in which the departments and officers of the Paiute Palace Casino worked tirelessly to produce an event which was free to the general public and, above all, fun and safe.

July festivities continue at the Paiute Palace Casino with great daily promotions and Players Club members receive many benefits and discounts. The restaurant, Tu-Ka-Novie, has extended summer hours until midnight on Friday and Saturday and 10pm Sunday to Thursday, opening daily at 7am.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Only a few weeks after the release of the newest video slot games by IGT (International Game Technology), a world leader in the design and development of gaming machines, the Paiute Palace Casino is currently installing the new eBay™ Video Slots on its casino floor.

Following concept release at the G2E (Global Gaming Expo) event in November last year to product presentation at the recent NIGA (National Indian Gaming Association) Trade Show and Convention in San Diego in April this year, this combination bank of five machines, made up of both eBay™ platforms, Fashion and Collectibles, is part of the IGT MegaJackpots® system.  

To date IGT MegaJackpots® have produced more than 1,000 millionaires and have awarded more than $3.8 billion in major jackpots. In 2003 it made history when a young systems engineer from Los Angeles won over $39 million. IGT's MegaJackpots® games have also produced two million-dollar-plus jackpots on the same day on numerous occasions.

“We are always updating and looking for new games so that our floor is state-of-the-art and fun,” says Eric Montoya, Video Games Manager.

The installation of this new eBay™ bank is one of the first in Indian Gaming in California and customers of the Paiute Palace Casino can enjoy this brand new concept in video slots as it rolls out across the country.

“We believe these machines will create great excitement,” says Montoya. “Everybody knows eBay™ and will want to be on eBay™”.

These penny slots boast five vertical, 40-inch, big-screen reels that establish this game's powerful presence and serve to intensify the excitement of the eBay™ Group Play Free Spins bonus.

In the Group Play Free Spins bonus, wins are multiplied based on wagering levels. With MultiWay® wagering in the eBay™ Fashions game, players enjoy 243 ways to win and can wager up to 250 credits per game. Mix some positions of the eBay™ collectibles game for variety and players can choose a 25-line multiplier option for thrills generated by wild and scatter symbol action and 250-credit max bets. The Group Play bonus assures all players involved in the bonus of 10 free spins, good times with the other players and genuine eBay™ excitement.

General Manager, Gloriana Bailey, says, “These new machines are just the latest in our great lineup of high-tech video slots, like the ever popular Wheel of Fortune® machines.”
