amenities of a larger casino while maintaining the charm and
personal service associated with a smaller one. The Horizon offers
everyone's favorite game, Blackjack, dealt with a single deck, a
double deck, or a six deck shoe and features weekly Blackjack
tournaments every Tuesday and Thursday nights. A casino would not be
complete without offering fast paced Craps action, the elegance of
Roulette, or the strategies of Poker Pai Gow; the Horizon has them
all plus Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker, and Let It Ride. Keno
fills 42,000 square feet of gaming action. For those players who
would like to game for fun at home, the Horizon is selling its old

Voted by local residents as the Loosest Slots in Tahoe, Best Place
to Hit a Royal, and Best Place to Play Video Poker, Lakeside Inn &
Casino offers a great mix of slot machines, table games, Keno, and a
lively Sports Book. Lakeside Inn & Casino also has a brand
new poker room where guests can play a hand. Played on the largest
Craps table in Nevada, the gaming dollar at Lakeside has greater
leverage because it is the only casino in South Shore to offer 10X
odds, seven days a week. Roulette is played on the finest wheel in
existence, the English Huxley wheel. Aside from being beautiful, the
Huxley wheel is known for its random play, even if it is out of
balance. Keno at this casino is played every seven minutes, and the
popular Ticket of the Month pays back over 99%. The Race and
Sportsbook offers wagering on all major sports as well as
pari-mutuel wagering from thoroughbred and harness tracks across the
country. Wagers also include football, basketball, baseball, hockey,
and special events like the PGA. Keno at Lakeside was voted Best of
Tahoe in 2002, 2003, and 2004. And, for gamblers looking for quick,
easy cash, Lakeside’s $1,500 Cash Bash may be the answer. While

drawing to be split amongst five winners who must be present to
