The following requirements apply to all casinos licensed under the provisions of this article:

(1) Unless otherwise directed by the city council by resolution, a cardroom may operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any license issued pursuant to this article or in any ordinance adopted by the city, the city council reserves the right to change the permissible hours of operation, on reasonable notice to the licensee. Hours of operation must be clearly posted at all entrances of the casino and at any other location that the city manager may designate.

(2) The licensee must comply with the Gambling Control Act (Business and Professions Code Sections 19800 et seq.), as the same may be amended from time to time, and any related state regulations pertaining to local, house, or table wagering limits for gambling games authorized in any licensed casino in the city. At every gambling table, the licensee must display placards with the applicable wagering limits, if any, for the particular game offered at that table. Patrons must also be provided with notice of any rules relating to wagering in the rules of play that are required to be available to casino patrons.

(3) Under no circumstances will the total number of gambling tables in the city exceed 100 for all licensed casinos. If one license only is issued, that license is authorized to operate the full 100 tables. If subsequent additional licenses are issued, the city council shall portion the tables, but at no time shall the original license be authorized for less than 50 tables.

(4) The licensee shall have in effect and shall implement a security plan which shall include measures to ensure the safety of patrons in and around the licensed casino. The plan and any amendments thereto must be approved by the city manager or such other person designated by the city council before operation of the casino commences. The plan must provide that one or more persons charged with the task of patron security is on duty at all times while the licensed casino is open. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any license issued pursuant to this article or in any ordinance adopted by the city, the city council reserves the right to require the licensee to modify the security plan to the satisfaction of the city manager or such other person designated by the city council on reasonable notice to the licensee. Moreover, the licensee must comply with all rules and regulations issued by the city manager regarding patron security and safety in and around the licensed casino.

(5) The licensee may extend credit for gambling purposes in accordance with the Gambling Control Act, as the same may be amended from time to time, and any related state regulations pertaining to the extension of credit.

(6) Casinos are permitted to use credit reports obtained from reliable credit reporting agencies in determining if credit should be extended to individuals requesting credit. (Ord. 588 § 11, 2003; Ord. 537 § 3. 2002 Code § 6-32.14A).
