Formerly known as the Palace Card Club, this neighborhood card club on Mission Boulevard in downtown Hayward offers decent action and generous jackpots in an unpretentious setting. Be warned: Parking is hard to come by because there is no dedicated casino lot. Thanks to loose players, though, the visit can be lucrative if you play your cards right.
The Palace Poker Casino is a Sports Club in Hayward. Plan your road trip to The Palace Poker Casino in CA with Roadtrippers. The Palace is a cool place to play cards, if you are used to casinos. This card room does not cater to the casual player, it's more for hard core gamblers. Pretty no nonsense, the room has.
The history
After decades of operating as the Palace Card Club, the facility changed its name recently to reflect an emphasis on poker. Rumor has it that the change also was made to change the image; management has been trying to move to a bigger and newer location for years. An aside: Gambling is a big part of history in these parts; 19th century landholder Don Guillermo Castro lost most of his more than 20,000 acres, including downtown Hayward, gambling.

The games
As the name suggests, the primary game at the Palace is poker. Most gamblers play limit ($3/$6, $4/$8 and $6/$12) or no-limit ($1/$2/$2) Texas hold 'em; the no-limit game has a minimum buy-in of $100 and no maximum buy-in (which is rare for Bay Area cardrooms). Regular promotions and jackpots include $100 for Aces Cracked between 3-9 a.m. and a Bad Beat Jackpot that starts at $50,000 any time quad 7s or better loses. When someone does hit a Bad Beat, at least 20 percent of the jackpot is distributed to everyone playing on the floor at that time. Slots sign up bonus no wagering rules.

The layout
One room, eight gaming tables (including six poker tables) in all. A deli counter lines one wall, and the cashier (also known as a 'cage') is in the back corner, opposite the restrooms.
The feel
The Palace certainly isn't palatial. Walls are mostly barren and there's a gas fireplace in the back. Fans of the 1980s also will love the cardroom's LED message boards, which scroll up-to-the-minute information about jackpots. As if the vibe weren't eclectic enough, a burly security guard greets all players at the front door; when I visited, he inspected my man-purse and required me to stash it near the host station (without explaining why).

The eats

The Palace Cafe, a deli counter, serves up surprisingly tasty grub. The menu lists standard diner fare - sandwiches, hamburgers and the like. As I visited in the morning, I opted for a breakfast sandwich of egg, cheese, bacon and sausage on wheat bread ($5.75). If only my cards were as good as the meal.
