For example, in blackjack games, there is always some rule twist, usually in that a blackjack is not the highest hand, or some unusual dealer hand will cause the player to push if he already busted. So, the poker clubs get around the rules by making subtle rules changes. According to the California constitution, the popular traditional games are not allowed. Often players don't want to bank, in which case the banking organization is happy to do it. Each poker club has a relationship to a banking organization, whose members sit at the tables with huge piles of chips, ready to take the roll of banker in turn. All games in the card clubs must be player banked. The poker clubs feature a lot of poker, but also variants of blackjack, baccarat, Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud, and many others. The poker clubs are mostly concentrated in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas. The Indian casinos are found mostly in the San Diego area, with a few more around Sacramento, Palm Springs, and Santa Barbara.

The casino gambling scene in California can be broken down into two types: Indian casinos, and poker clubs.

The purpose of the survey was to have an independent verification that Barona has the most liberal table game rules, which I can confirm that they do. Last November, the Barona casino hired me to survey the blackjack, craps, and roulette rules in the ten casinos in the San Diego area that have table games. On May 14 and 15 I made my second casino tour of the San Diego area. By the Wizard 12:44:40 (edited 12:18) Introduction
