Unlike most Nevada Poker rooms, the Gardena Poker palaces have
Unlike most Nevada Poker rooms, the Gardena Poker palaces have strict rules regarding play and player behavior, and these rules, in booklet form, may be obtained by a player upon request. These Poker palaces employ floormen and security guards to see that the games are run honestly and efficiently.
The fact that each Poker palace possesses exactly thirty-five tables
The fact that each Poker palace possesses exactly thirty-five tables brings up some other features about Poker playing in Gardena. Playing rules and hourly charge for playing in all six palaces are standardized by local council. All players must pay a fee per half hour of play, since there is no house rake. In the $l-$2 game, the house charge is $1 per half hour; in the $2-$4 game, $1.25; in the $3-$6 game, $1.50; in the $5-$10 game, $2; in the $10-$20 game, $3; in the $15-$20 California Blind game, $4. And don't expect free drinks, as is customary in Nevada Poker rooms. Gaming incentives of this kind are illegal in Gardena.
