I have been to Normandie Casino a numerous times and have always had a great time there, What I think is really cool is they are the only Card Club in California with Vegas Style 21, Its really cool to play.
I am learning Texas Hold-em, but they also have Omaha, Seven Card Stud, Blackjack, Pai-gow Poker, Pan 9, Pai-gow Tiles, just to name some.
The showroom is really cool they they have a variety of entertainment acts there like comedy, jazz, blues and even magic acts, even sporting events on a 50 foot movie screen.
