The state of California, located on the west coast of the u.s.a., is by far the most polulated state in the country. There are also a number of California brick and mortar casinos operating within the legal jurisdictions of its Amerindian owned lands. Because they are located on Native land, many California brick and mortar casinos are situated in hard to reach places. When visiting a California brick and mortar casino, it is advisable to ring ahead and get clearly defined directions.

Almost all California casinos are open all day and night. California casinos are allowed to present electronic gaming machines, twenty-one, and other card games. Sadly, the games of craps and roulette are not allowed, but a few California casinos present alternative varieties of these games that use cards in place of dice or roulette wheels. Slots, video poker and electronic keno are the most desired computerized gaming machines you will find in California betting houses. Some of the card games consistently wagered on in California betting houses include chemin de fer, baccarat chemin de fer, poker (including pai gow, Caribbean stud and three-card poker), Spanish 21, and Let it Ride. Most California betting houses also feature bingo, casino war and OTB (off track wagering) options for gamblers and casual gamblers.

A couple of California brick and mortar casinos allow overnight recreational vehicle accommodations for the traveling gambler, so if you are thinking about a California casino holiday you can make a number of stops and stay a while.
