Additionally the new casino will play host to a variety of entertainment acts seven nights a week. The Tukut Lounge features karaoke, comedians, country western bands with local bands performing Friday through Sunday. Confirmed headlining performances include: Freddy Fender and Little Joe y La Familia on February 3, the legendary Chippendales on February 17, and Cedric the Entertainer returns for an encore performance on March 5.
The new complex boasts several new gaming and customer amenities for guests, including nearly 99 poker and blackjack tables, 2,000 of the latest coin-free slot machines, as well as a 2,500-seat state-of-the-art bingo hall that doubles as an entertainment venue for concerts and events.
Other new gaming features include Bullet Bingo -- a fast paced version of Bingo where players win playing chips based on call numbers, a beautifully appointed poker room with a special air filtration system for a smoke-free entertainment experience, and the Tukut Lounge, which will feature nightly entertainment. Patrons can also enjoy several new dining options to fit any mood with restaurants such as the Serrano Buffet, the SportsWatch Grill and Tutu's Food Court.

About San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino
San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino started its operations as a high-stakes Bingo hall in 1986, and since then has given away more than $ 1.5 billion dollars to winners. The gaming facility expanded in 1994, to include a card room and additional space for slot machines. In May of 2001, the casino expanded again, increasing the number of slot machines to 2,000 as permitted by the Tribal State Compact. In April 2003, with the casino's increase in popularity, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians announced plans for the construction of an expanded facility that would encompass all the current gaming options along with several new, cutting-edge amenities. Construction for the facility began shortly after the announcement, and the new property opens on January 28, 2005. For more information, please visit www.sanmanuel.com.
