Casino M8trix Review Jump to comments

Casino M8trix is a cardroom located at 360 South Saratoga Avenue in San Jose, California. The casino was originally founded in 1946 as Garden City Casino and operated as such up until 2012 when it became Casino M8trix. An imposing structure for a Cali cardroom, the casino stands 8 stories tall. It holds one of 15 cardroom licenses in San Jose and no more are likely to be issued.

The area in play is actually only about 35,000 square feet and holds 14 poker tables along with 33 felts serving up Cali card games like Baccarat Gold,  Pure 21.5 Blackjack, Double Hand Poker aka Pai Gow Poker, three card poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Pai Gow tiles and casino war along with Crazy 4 poker, Pure Spanish 21.5, Blackjack Switch and War Blackjack. No worries if the unique titles seem peculiar, that's California card games with slightly different rules as the deck is passed player to player or uses a designated stand-in as house-banked games just don't fly with the gaming commission.

Casino M8trix also features five eateries and bar/lounges including the Japanese-inspired restaurant Michi, which provides cuisine to the entire casino floor 24/7. Planning a special event or a meeting? The fifth and sixth floors of the eight-story building are VIP lounges and two floors of flexible meeting and event space.
