  • Taylor Dayne plays Soboba’s Event Center at 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, and Scotty McCreery plays at 8 p.m. Saturday.
  • Both shows are 21 and older, with doors an hour early and no ticket prices on the casino’s pages.
  • Wednesday blackjack tournaments run 5 p.m. to midnight and draw four guests an hour from carded live-table players.
  • Every tournament participant gets $50 in promotional chips, and the casino’s page names no other prize or end date.

SAN JACINTO, Calif. – Soboba Casino Resort hosts Taylor Dayne on Friday, Nov. 20, and Scotty McCreery on Saturday, Nov. 21, in back-to-back Event Center shows for guests 21 and older. The Soboba Casino concerts November 2026 schedule also lists Vilma Diaz y La Sonora in the Cabaret Lounge on Nov. 13. Wednesday blackjack tournaments continue Nov. 11, 18 and 25.

Dayne Plays Friday At 9 P.M., McCreery Saturday At 8 P.M.

Taylor Dayne’s show runs 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20, according to the casino’s event page for her. Scotty McCreery plays 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21, and his event page confirms the same Event Center stage. Both shows appear on Soboba’s entertainment calendar as Event Center dates.

Both Shows Are 21 And Older, With No Prices Posted

Doors open at 8 p.m. for Dayne and at 7 p.m. for McCreery, an hour before each show, and both event pages carry a 21-and-older rule. Each page offers a purchase-tickets button and the casino’s phone line, 1-866-4-SOBOBA, but neither shows what a seat costs.

Soboba is one of the land-based casinos that schedule floor promotions beside concerts. Its Wednesday blackjack night on Nov. 18 falls two days before Dayne’s show, a pairing that is common across gambling in California.

Wednesday Tournaments Draw Four Guests An Hour

The casino’s blackjack tournament page lists the event every Wednesday from 5 p.m. to midnight. A guest qualifies by actively playing a live blackjack table with a Soboba Rewards Card for at least 20 minutes during those hours.

Four guests are randomly selected every hour, according to the page, which over the seven hours from 5 p.m. to midnight comes to as many as 28 players a night. Selected players play eight rounds, and the three players with the highest chip totals are posted after the final round.

Every Participant Gets $50 In Promotional Chips

The page says all participants receive $50 in promotional chips. It attaches no dollar amount to the top three finishers and lists neither a start date nor an end date. It also says management may modify or cancel promotions at any time without notice.

The page does not say whether the chips can be cashed out, must be played through or carry a table minimum, and it leaves those questions to the Soboba Rewards Desk and table games supervisors.

Qualifying Takes 20 Minutes Of Carded Play, Not A Buy-In

The page lists no buy-in, but the 20 minutes are played against the house edge, and it does not post what Soboba’s tables pay on a natural. A $25 bettor playing 80 hands an hour wagers about $667 in 20 minutes. On a six-deck game that pays 3:2, with the dealer standing on soft 17 and doubling after splits and late surrender allowed, perfect basic strategy carries a 0.34 percent house edge, so that stretch costs about $2.27 in expected loss.

If the table pays 6:5 instead, a $6 payout on a $5 natural rather than $7.50, the edge rises 1.39 points to 1.73 percent and the same 20 minutes costs about $11.53. A natural arrives in about 4.75 percent of hands under either payout, so the lost payout goes straight to the house. Anyone short of perfect basic strategy loses more than either figure.

Both amounts are small beside $50 in chips, but every carded player bears that cost while the draw reaches as many as 28 players a night. The page also does not say how many guests are carded at the tables, so the chance of being selected cannot be worked out, and chips that cannot be cashed or must be played through are worth less than their face value.

Vilma Diaz y La Sonora Play Nov. 13, Marlon Wayans Dec. 4

Vilma Diaz y La Sonora play the Cabaret Lounge on Friday, Nov. 13, from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., according to the calendar. After the Dayne and McCreery weekend, the calendar’s next Event Center date is Marlon Wayans on Friday, Dec. 4, at 9 p.m.
