GV Wire’s Edward Smith talks with KMPH Fox 26 “Great Day” anchor Karl Cooke about a recent court ruling that will allow California blackjack rooms to continue to operate.

California’s cardroom operators got the reprieve they’ve wanted after Attorney General Rob Bonta banned blackjack in the state.

The court also acknowledged the negative impact that eliminating the game would have on municipal tax revenues.
