California DOJ proposes banning modified blackjack games at card rooms
California’s Department of Justice is advancing proposed rules that would bar card rooms from offering modified blackjack and other banked card games. The state-commissioned impact assessment estimates statewide card-room losses of $464 million and 364 fewer full-time jobs annually over 10 years, while tribal casinos could gain $232 million in revenue.
The proposal could alter card-room game offerings and affect employment and revenues for operators and tribal casinos.
