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.
