"The CGA claims the changes will have a major adverse impact on the industry. The rules will cost both jobs and tax revenue for cities across the state."
"Many of my colleagues in any industry have talked about whether or not they could stay open, said Stones Gambling Hall Vice P and General Counsel Heather Guerena."
"The cardrooms ... felt like they were operating appropriately because no one was enforcing it against them, said Nick Bryson, attorney for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians."
The California Gaming Association has filed a lawsuit against new blackjack rules, seeking an injunction to prevent their implementation. The CGA argues that the changes will negatively impact jobs and tax revenue. Key changes include banning the terms 'blackjack' and '21' and imposing restrictions on third-party players. Cardroom owners assert that the rules were enacted without public input and are designed to benefit tribal interests. Tribal leaders claim cardrooms have violated their exclusivity in casino games, leading to the enforcement of these new regulations.
