The Livermore Planning Commission unanimously supported an operational and parking expansion for Parkwest Casino 580 as well as changes to the city’s cardroom ordinances.
Among the allowances Parkwest Casino 580 requested were increasing the number of its cardroom tables from a population-based value to 16 tables, forgoing nine-hour long closures on Mondays for 24/7 operations, increasing the maximum betting limit from $200 to $1000, permission for 10-person backline betting, and permission to play new card games — including Pai Gow with tiles — not prohibited by state law.
Additionally, the commission supported construction of a 230-space surface parking lot on vacant land east of the casino. Bike parking would be added outside the casino.
