Bay 101 Casino 4l311

Bay 101 Casino is located near the San Francisco Bay in San Jose, California. Smack in the middle of Silicon Valley, about 90 minutes’ drive from the Golden Gate Bridge, San Jose is an affluent area full of start-up companies and tech wealth. Bay 101 is technically a 24-hour card room, and not a proper casino in the sense that it doesn’t host most games that casino gamblers are used to finding in casinos in other states. 3j34s

California law is fairly strict about gambling and very specific about how these legal card rooms must operate. Bay 101 tries to differentiate itself from a standard California-style card room by hosting altered rules versions of casino games that exist in a legal loophole. Because the rules are altered to ensure that they aren’t illegal under state law, the games don’t play exactly like bettors are used to. They’re still fun distractions, and a nice feature for what are normally boring little poker halls dotting the California landscape.

Live poker (in many forms) is the main draw at Bay 101 – it’s a card room, after all, and head-to-head poker is one of the few gambles that’s not tightly regulated within state borders. Live poker games take place around the clock, and tournaments with big purses are common, on a weekly basis.

The other games are a little bizarre, with names like EZ Blackjack and EZ Baccarat. These games look and feel a little like the classics they’re named after, but they have a lot of the risk (and thus a lot of the potential reward) removed from them to comply with California law.

Though Bay 101 Casino can’t offer all the famous games from the Vegas Strip, it has a nice feature that more actual casinos should adopt – tableside food service. The on-site restaurant has an ever-changing menu of fusion Asian and classic American foods, all available for table-side service 24 hours a day.
