Blackjack, the popular casino card game, could get banned at card rooms and certain casinos across California.
The state’s Department of Justice is proposing new gambling restrictions that would eliminate loopholes that have allowed state-licensed card rooms, such as Club One Casino and The 500 Club Casino in the Fresno area, to offer gambling card games like blackjack and other “banked games.”
Banked games are considered games in which a player goes against the dealer, as is the case in games such as blackjack and baccarat. Native American tribal-owned casinos, such as Table Mountain Casino and Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, do not fall under these proposed restriction and would still offer banked games like blackjack — also commonly referred to as 21.
