""These regulations are an important step in combating unscrupulous and illegal gaming in California," CNIGA Chairman James Siva said in a statement sent to ReadWrite. "The regulations further clarify that games and practices employed by commercial card rooms are indeed prohibited under California law. Running a business contrary to that law is an illicit business, period. We hope that Department of Justice will now enforce these regulations so California can ensure a well-regulated gaming industry that is safe for consumers.""
"The Office of Administrative Law signed off on two rule packages from the DOJ. One tightens the rules around player-dealer rotation and the use of third-party proposition player providers, or TPPPPs. The other directly targets blackjack-style games that have become a major revenue driver inside many cardrooms. What the new California cardroom rules mean for the industry Under the regulations, cardrooms can no longer offer games that replicate the core mechanics of traditional blackjack, which includes games centered on reaching 21, using standard blackjack card values, or relying on familiar hit-or-stand decisions. Operators are also barred from using the names "blackjack" or "21" to market their games."
