California judge allows cities to join cardroom challenge to blackjack rules
A California Superior Court judge allowed Gardena, Inglewood and Colma to address the court in a challenge to Attorney General Rob Bonta’s cardroom rules, according to the report. The cities warn the changes could harm local budgets and economies. The rules took effect on 1 April, with enforcement being phased in as cardrooms seek approval to modify their games.
The cities’ participation brings local government concerns into a court challenge to rules affecting California cardrooms.
