Licensed card room owned by Jack Aten. First located at 3500 Portola Drive, it moved to 3623 Portola Drive in 1970. Aten was previously a partner in the "J & J Club", and after leaving the partnership in 1967, he retained control of the cardroom at 3500 Portola and ownership of the chips. They were likely briefly used at this club.
T. R. King sold 2200 of the small crown chips to Jack Aten, first at the Aloha Club, 1218 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA, in 1964 and last to him at the Players Club, 3500 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz, CA, in 1967.
