I was just re-reading the Northern Route - Pam and George Goertler's article in the Winter Ed. of the club Mag.

There was a question of gaming at the 449'er club. If you include video poker 25c built in's in the bar, then the answer is yes, they still have gaming.

I have gone in and talked to the "old timers" (like Bill the bartender) almost every visit to Elko and asked about chips. I still get blank stares. However you will find a friendly crowd and cold beer. $20 buy-in will get you a free beverage.

My friends Dan, Simba and Chuck, taking a break at the 449'er in beautiful downtown Elko. You can see the Sunlight coming in the front door and Chuck sitting at the end of the bar. I'd guess it's 10 stools and a pool table. Interesting antique decorations.

Cindy did manage to hit big enough to buy us another round.
