Was: Embassy Club
Became: Hustler Casino
15411 South Vermont Avenue
Gardena, California
Type: Card Room
Status: Closed
Open: 1969, Close: 1996

Owned by Georgy Anthony, and his brothers, who transformed the former California Art Deco style "Embassy Club" building into a luxurious Spanish hacienda-style card room. It went bankrupt and closed in 1996. It was bought by Larry Flynt, who tore it down and built the "Hustler Casino" on the site (see "Became").

Graphic above is a detail from a matchbook posted below. The photograph is from an early 1980s brochure (City of Gardena Archives).

Double hot-stamping resulted in an 8-legged horse carrying 2 riders. The chip was then cancelled with a typical Paulson zigzag circular pattern. From the collection of Gene Trimble. Same mess on either side!
