A little about California casinos.... the poker rooms can be little den like places with just a few poker tables to magnificient 'borderline' Vegas style casinos. Almost all of the casinos in California are run by Native American Indians.
Another large sector of the gaming industry in California goes to the casino cruiseship industry as there are major ports in California of course. These cruise ships range from day cruisers with private excursions to full fledged cruise ships that take week or even month long voyages. Most of these cruise ships have full featured casinos on deck and a lot of the ports of call offer casinos.
You will find most casino games available in California from a serious number of poker varieties to craps, roulette, blackjack and other popular table games. You can also find: baccara, Spanish 21, mini-baccarat, pai gow poker, Caribbean stud poker, let it ride, three card poker, bingo, casino war and off track betting.
As with most any casino you will find a large variety of slots, video poker, video keno, etc, both progressive and stand alone. The primary type of slots are IGT but you will find some Bally machines, too.
As far as locations of the casinos go - they are all over the place. California is a big state and you'll find a casino in almost every part - even the mountainous parts of the state will have indian casinos along the way. We urge you to take your time when you're up North, Northern California is beautiful.
California has more casinos than any other state in the U.S. except for Nevada. Most of the casinos require that you be a minimum age of 21 to gamble at them however some will allow you to gamble at 18 years of age.
This is a large pari-mutuel scene in California including horse racing and greyhounds. You will find racetracks as thouroughly populated through the state as casinos. As if this were'nt enough gambling in this state it's just a few miles to get into Reno, Nevada and of course if you keep driving you'll hit Las Vegas... but why? You really have all the gambling you need right here in California.
