Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that two sets of DOJ regulations were sent to the Office of Administrative Law for review on December 23, 2025, before being approved late on Friday. The new regulations clear the way for major changes to player-dealer rotation games and blackjack-style games statewide.
The California Department of Justice formally proposed the regulations in the spring of 2025 after numerous meetings with stakeholders to discuss potential regulation of games.
"It's just a dramatic, hard, 180-degree pivot in how the law is being interpreted, and that's what we have the problem with, that it's like, without any real reason, any visible harm to the public, we're having a 180-degree change in how these games are being interpreted, and it's devastating," Kirkland said.
"Candidly, we're not ready to just give up and fold up shop by April 1," Kirkland said. "We've had our lawyers working on this. There's going to be some legal pushback."
"We have a lot of single parents here that raise their kids and want an income and been with us for years, so it's good that way," Melech said.
"Right now, we're doing well with our local charities and with job creation, and if some of these regulations go into effect, it's going to affect the games that we offer, and the things that we're going to be able to do for our community, like most card rooms and their communities," Melech said.
