Poker Dictionary – California Games


The poker term for the day is ‘California Games.’ What does that mean? Is it a game played only in California or does the game have to do with more than just the name? Keep reading!

California Games is a set of Asian games, some of which resemble games of poker. In this particular game, players place their bets even before receiving the hole cards. After receiving hole cards, players place their bets. After this point, the game starts to resemble blackjack. In this particular game, the interest is taken in the form of a potion of every bet. Such card rooms also known as California games were the result of state laws and regulations imposed in the United States. This was predominantly popular in California during the 1990s.

As of October 2010, 66 card rooms are operating in the state. The clubs range in size from one table to nearly 300 tables, offering several games that are played all over the world.

Some of these California card rooms are small modest establishments, while others are large poker rooms that are as big as the ones in Las Vegas.
