Longtime customers of Ventura’s Players Casino will see some significant changes when they visit its new temporary location.

The casino is set to reopen at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Ventura County Fairgrounds’ Derby Club, a more spacious venue but with limited food and beverage service offsite.

“It’s exciting for us,” Patrick Berry, the casino’s general manager, said Monday. “There’s really a wow factor especially since the work’s all done now. Players we know are excited to come back.”

Berry and Marina Martinez, the casino’s assistant general manager, discussed the features at the new venue Monday, surrounded by tables set for Texas Hold ‘Em, three-card poker, baccarat and blackjack.
