| An illegal casino operated by Robert (Bobby) L. Garica. It offered roulette, craps, and blackjack and other games. Eighteen miles from Palm Springs, and just over the border into San Bernardino county. The main casino building burned down in 1955 (see "Archive").
T. R. King order cards for the large crown chips also mention "The Cove" in Palm Springs, which was also operated by Garcia, and these chips may have also been used there.
