Casino Arizona Corporate Office

Casino Arizona opened in 1998 in Scottsdale, Arizona, on the Salt-River Pima Maricopa Indian Reservation. The original structure was temporary as the tribe wasn’t sure if their “casino” would do well. The company offered only 47 poker tables in the beginning and employed approximately 240 persons.

Today, the casino has almost 1,000 slot machines, 50 gaming tables, and a bingo parlor that seats 1,000 patrons. In addition to gaming, the casino has 5 restaurants, as well as an extensive collection of Native American art. The company also owns the Talking Stick Resort, which sits on the site of the original temporary casino site.

The Gardens Casino Corporate Office

The Hawaiian Gardens Casino, known mostly as The Gardens Casino, was founded in 1993 by Irving Moskowitz, M.D. Moskowitz had already been running a bingo parlor when he decided to build a gaming casino in a suburb of Los Angeles.

The original “casino” was nothing more than a tent and thick carpets. Today, the casino has 225 card tables, a full service restaurant, A VIP lounge, as well as meeting or multi-purpose rooms. The large artificial volcano outside regularly spews “lava” and smoke. Business has increased by 15% since April.

The casino has had numerous problems over the year. A recent $90 million dollar overhaul was greeted with cheers by clients, but now runs the risk of having their license suspended for not following certain rules. The city of Hawaiian Gardens gets approximately 65% of its budget from the taxes paid from the casino. The Gardens Casino is also the largest employer in the area, with nearly 2,000 employees.

History

Hollywood Park Casino Corporate Office

Hollywood Park Casino was founded in June of 1910 as the Hollywood Turf Club, a horse racing facility, owned by Jack Warner of Warner Brothers Pictures and numerous other investors. The park was closed during WWII, but reopened in 1945. Although numerous celebrities could be seen there, the park always appeared to be on the verge of bankruptcy

In 1994, the park added a card playing casino to the racetrack. The company was sold in 2005 to the Bay Meadows Land Company, with the stipulation that horse breeding and training would continue for at least 3 years. Despite numerous efforts to keep the track open, the company decided in 2013 to keep the casino and sell the racetrack.

The track will be made into a football stadium in 2017. The Hollywood Park Casino continues to prosper. Headquarters for the company are in Inglewood, California, right outside Los Angeles.

The Bicycle Hotel and Casino Corporate Office

The Bicycle Hotel and Casino was founded in 1984 by George Hardie in Bell Gardens, California. The company operates a poker and cardroom casino, along with a hotel. The original funding apparently was found to be money laundered from a drug operation. For most of the 1990’s, the casino made millions for the US government, who seized the business in a tax lien.

Today, the casino is on the legal side of the street. It became the first casino to broadcast live poker games online, and today the company offers a subscription service. The club is now a stop on the World Poker Tour.

In 2015, the casino and hotel underwent a dramatic overhaul and renovation. The casino and hotel now has 7 stories, several restaurants, a sun deck, outdoor bar, and an on-site brewery.
