Following all California Department of Public Health protocols to stop the spread of COVID-19, mayors from five cities including Bell Gardens, Commerce, Gardena and Hawaiian Gardens, proposed during a press conference last Monday to establish gambling operations in outdoor facilities.

L.A. County still has not given permission to reopen cardrooms outdoors despite approval by the state – which carried restrictions – since Sept. 9.

The mayors called on the Board of Supervisors to help them open outdoor facilities facilitated by LA County Department of Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer.

But sources have told Hews Media Group -Cerritos News that in a meeting with Ferrer and cardroom owners on Saturday Sept. 12, two days before the press conference, they had asked Dr. Ferrer to grant permission.

Her response was 'I did not know you wanted to open outdoors,' which surprised some of the owners. But Dr. Ferrer insisted she wanted to wait for the Labor Day case surge to pan out.

The issue has become urgent with some cardrooms representing over 50% of city revenues.

Hawaiian Gardens has lost $9 million in tax revenue from the Gardens Casino being closed; The cardroom represents 70% of the City's budget.

Bell Gardens has lost $8 million in tax revenue from the Bicycle Casino being closed; The cardroom represents nearly 50% of the City's budget.

Gardena has lost $4.9 million in tax revenue so far as their cardrooms and their city's largest employers, Lucky Lady & Hustler Casinos, remain closed.

Mayors present represented the three largest cardrooms in the state, Commerce, The Gardens Casino, and Bicycle Casino while some represented the smaller cardrooms including the Hustler and the Lucky Lady Casinos in Gardena; the Crystal Casino in Compton; and the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood.

Some smaller cardrooms have had success in opening outdoors but have hit their maximum permitted tables or have run out of outdoor space.

The San Mateo Daily Journal reported that Artichoke Jones Casino, limited by the operations allowed during quarantine, took a risk and ordered a 13,000-square-foot tent to hold a makeshift, outdoor card room.

Owners were heartened to see a line of patrons ready to start playing when Artichoke Joe's opened into its parking lot.

The cardroom has 'been doing very good' with no reported cases of workers or guests contracting coronavirus.

Artichoke Jones was able to place 38 tables under the tent the cardroom is permitted for 51 tables and county public health has put no restrictions on the number of tables they can operate.

Other smaller cardrooms that have opened outdoors are the Bay 101 Casino with 38 tables and M8trix with 38 tables, both are located in San Jose with permits for 49 tables.

In Oceanside, the Ocean's 11, with 50 table permits, is operating 32 tables.

In Bakersfield, the Golden West Casino is permitted for 45 tables and is operating 15 outdoors.

Locally, Commerce has 275 tables, The Gardens Casino has 225 tables, Bicycle 190,Inglewood 105, Compton 42, Hustler 41, and Luck Lady 41.

It would take a monumental effort for the big three, but for the others, absent any land issues, an outdoor facility is a distinct possibility.

Gardena Mayor and California Cities Gaming Authority Chair Tasha Cerda, who represents the smaller cardrooms in the state told HMG-CN, 'I hope we were successful at informing the public that small to medium size cardrooms should be allowed to open outdoors. They can be successful at following the recommended guidelines that the county health department suggests.'

Supervisor Hahn told HMG-CN, 'We learned that we reopened too quickly last time, so this time we are taking a few weeks between reopening to monitor the impact on our case numbers. I am very worried about the toll the closure of card rooms is taking on the cities that depend on them for revenue and the thousands of workers who are out of jobs.But the fact is there are still too many people sick and dying of this virus. We need to follow the advice of our public health experts to save lives and they are saying it is not the time to reopen card rooms.'

Bay 101 is perhaps best known for hosting the Bay 101 Shooting Star, a World Poker Tour tournament created by Bay 101 owner Marko Trapani in 1997.[1] The Bay 101 Shooting Star is a major bounty tournament, and the only one of its type on the World Poker Tour.[2]

History[edit]

Is bay 101 open

In 1929, Joseph Sutter Sr. purchased the Panama Inn in Alviso, which he would rename as Sutter's Club.[3][4][5] Sutter's son, Joseph Sutter Jr., took over the establishment in 1947,[6] and added poker tables in 1961.[4]

In 1989, Caltrans released plans for widening of Highway 237 that would require demolishing the club.[6] A group of investors including Berryessa Flea Market owner Jeff Bumb announced a plan to acquire a 49 percent interest in Sutter's Place and move it to a new, larger facility.[7][8] The move would have been prohibited under a 1978 city law intended to phase out card rooms by ending issuance of new licenses and transfers of existing licenses.[9][10] However, Bumb's group successfully lobbied the city council to amend the law to allow Sutter's to move to a new location and expand to 40 tables.[7][11][12]

Sutter's closed in June 1992.[11] Initial plans called for it to move to the Italian Gardens complex near Downtown San Jose, but negotiations with the site owner failed.[7][13] Developers instead selected a site in an industrial area near Highway 101.[14] A contest was held to choose a new name for the casino, and Bay 101 was selected out of 7,400 entries.[15] The cardroom was built at its new location at a cost of $15 million.[16]

Bay 101 held a grand opening in November 1993, but could not offer gaming because background checks for the owners' gaming license had not been completed; only the restaurants and bar were operating.[17] As the licensing process dragged on, the club was closed and its 600 employees were laid off in December.[18] The state Department of Justice eventually denied Bay 101's license application because of alleged failures to disclose certain financial information, and other reasons that were not made public.[19] The shareholders then agreed to sell their stakes in the business to brothers Tim Bumb and George Bumb Jr., who had previously been only passive investors, and were seen as the most likely to successfully appeal the state's decision.[20][21] Under the sole ownership of Tim and George, Bay 101 received a provisional gaming license in August 1994.[22] The card room finally opened and dealt its first games on September 9, 1994.[23]

Bay 101 announced plans in 2013 to move across the freeway to the site of the San Jose Airport Hotel, near the new location of the city's other cardroom, Casino M8trix.[4] The Bumb family had purchased the hotel in 2012 for more than $20 million, in anticipation of the cardroom's lease coming to an end in 2017.[24] An alternative plan emerged in June 2014, as Bay 101 lobbied for permission to move to Milpitas, where it would pay a lower tax rate and be allowed to expand to 115 tables.[25][26] That plan was rejected, however, by Milpitas voters.[27] The Airport Hotel was demolished in December 2015 to make way for Bay 101's new $100-million casino, hotel, and, office complex.[28][29] The first phase of the new complex, comprising the casino and a restaurant, opened in September 2017.[30]
