Blackjack Table Closes for Good at the Rat Pack Casino

The Cal Neva, a renowned casino once owned by Frank Sinatra recently closed up its blackjack tables and its doors to the public.

This casino for usa players was once full of players eager to sample the blackjack games and other table games on offer here could not bear up under the stress of the recession. The Cal Neva is located near the Nevada-California close to the north shore of Lake Tahoe.

Frank Sinatra’s old casino and resort, the Cal Neva was popular with the Rat Pack members like Sammy Davis Junior and Dean Martin and many other celebrities of Sinatra’s time. The casino was also well known for its association with Marilyn Monroe and is the place where Monroe spent her last week before she died.

The casino was very popular since the 1960’s but can no longer attract players as it once used to. The recession is just one cause of this as players seem to prefer online casinos to land based casinos. Recent reports have revealed that blackjack players tend to game at online blackjack tables instead of going to Vegas and trying out the blackjack opportunities there.

Although, its owner has stated that the casino has hopes of reopening, it may not be possible for the Cal Neva to thrive in today’s gaming world, where it is all about the bells and whistles and online games.
