Sacramentans will likely see an increase in gambling tables at the city’s casinos over the next 15 years.
The City Council’s Law and Legislation Committee approved updating the city ordinance on Tuesday to allow for two more gambling tables at each card club in 2025. Additional tables can be added every four years until a total of 10 new tables is reached.
The amendment now heads to the California Bureau of Gambling Control for further approval. It must return to the City Council for final passing.
The new ordinance would particularly benefit Sacramento’s two largest card clubs — Capitol Casino and Park West Casino Lotus. Both casinos operate 17 tables — the current maximum number of authorized tables. Each new table is expected to create 10 jobs for the casinos.
