Soquel, California
Type: Card Room
Status: Closed
Open: 1975, Close: c. 1978

Licensed card room owned by Greg Johnson, who was previously a slot machine repairman and card dealer in Nevada. When he was licensed for the card room in 1975, at age 24, he was the youngest licensed card room owner in Santa Cruz county. The card room was located on the second floor of a remodeled house (see "Archive").

The attribution of these DiSq-mold hot stamp chips is traced to Armin Pfaender's California Chip Guide (2004). Not in Eastman (1998).

Listing from the 1977 Santa Cruz Yellow Pages, under "Card Playing Rooms".

Attributed by Staeffler/Kallman as a charity games operator. Lightweight plastic chip with paper label and yeah, it's not exactly well-centered. That just makes it more fun!
