More about Casino Montelago (and thanks, Sai Sai, for your extensive report):
We did not get the postcard that bettiepage21 posted about, even though we had been members of the previous players club and live just a few miles away. We asked about this, and were told that they had sent out stuff according to zip code, and were going to send out mailers next week that include coupons. If we did not receive anything, we could check back with him personally, as he gave us his contact info.
Spouse and I were there around midnight of opening. Lots of friendly staff wearing suits but no ID, so we had to walk up to people and ask, "Do you work here?" if we had questions.
Maybe a good low-roller play is the 3:2 virtual BJ. Bad rule is that you can only split to two hands, which brings the house edge to 0.6.%
I did find a game on one machine that was mislabled. The paytable, according to my Jean Scott scouting guide, is over 99.9%. Bet that won't last too long. Hmm, Frank did say he was going camping...

They have 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB, 15/9/4/4 Deuces, 8/5 SDB, 30/8/5 BP and some 7/5 BP, 8/6 BPD, 9/6 TDB and a few others. The 3/5 play had 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB and 8/6 BPD(only games I checked) up to dollar. Ten play up to 25 cent. There may have been another bank that went higher on 10 play. Didn't get to check every single one. Keno is the 810 for 5/5 variant. Lots of strange and interesting penny slots. One wall has reels, three of them are multi-denom to dollar, the other are 25 cent. Several electronic blackjack tables and a electronic roulette table. Snack bar and regular bar. Everyone was pleasant even though it was 4:30 AM. Actually quite a few people playing. Machines are spaced nicely. They give you a temp card which will be permanent on the 31st and then you can claim your bonus freeplay. They are still doing work there so there may be more to come.
