Proposition 26 on California's November ballot would expand sports betting in California, but it would also make cardrooms vulnerable to lawsuits.If Proposition 26 passes this November, another form of gambling would be permitted at horse racing tracks and tribal casinos in California: Sports betting.
"The concern with expanding to online is that there's no foolproof way to ensure that kids aren't gambling online. With in-person sports betting, you can ensure that." Cardrooms and the cities that host them oppose Prop. 26 because of a provision that allows private attorneys representing tribal casinos to sue cardrooms for the type of card games they offer.
"Prior to this cardroom being in Hawaiian Gardens, you have rampant crime. The city couldn't sustain itself fiscally. Once this cardroom came to this community, it just flipped its fortunes. The residents here are able to enjoy free services like parks and rec. The quality of life here has drastically improved. They provided jobs, provided scholarships to students," said Garza.
