San Francisco court pauses California card-room rules for 45 days
A San Francisco Superior Court judge temporarily halted two California rules governing blackjack and dealer rotations, according to the reported ruling. The injunction pauses enforcement for 45 days. The judge indicated that the Bureau of Gambling Control may have exceeded its legal authority; the rules had been enforced from 1 April, with card rooms given until 31 May to comply.
The pause delays enforcement of rules that could change blackjack operations at California card rooms.
