Licensed three table card room. Owned and operated by Frank D. Fox. The "Aloha Club" was previously at this address (see "Was"). Fox previously owned the "Pastime Club" (1962-1969) later owned the "Freemont Card Room" (1993-1996), both in neighboring Nipomo, California.
The attribution of the H&C-mold hot stamp chips is traced to Eastman's Illustrated Guide to California Card Room Gaming Chips & Checks (1998).
