| Also called the "Forty-Niner Club Cardroom". The property was seized by the IRS in 1961 due to the 49er Club's nonpayment of delinquent taxes. Previously "Rainey's Club" (1957 - 1959) was located at this address.
The attribution of the Small Key mold hot stamp chips is traced to Armin Pfaender's California Chip Guide (2004). Not in Eastman (1998).
