Owned by Ernest “Ernie” Primm. It opened with 35 card tables and was next door to the ”Monterey Club”, which Primm also owned. The two clubs were connected by a walkway, with a bar and restaurant serving both clubs. In the 1950s, the Rainbow Club was known for hosting Gardena's highest stakes poker games. See Gardena Poker Clubs: A High-Stakes History (2017) Max Votolato.
Above graphic detail from a matchbook, posted below. The illustration of the club is from 1965 (Your Town magazine, City of Gardena Archives). |

Similar to CG071971 but red instead of green and some of the outside text is different. As with CG071971 and some other matches, this matchcover advertises both the Rainbow Club and Monterey Club so I assume they have the same ownership.
Note that this matchbook also advertises Primadonna Club in Reno, NV on the inside apparently because ownership was the same.
