GILROY -- It looks like blackjack won't be coming to Gilroy's Garlic City Club anytime soon.
The City Council last night overturned an earlier vote to allow the city's only casino to host games of blackjack, after discovering a 15-year-old ordinance prohibiting so-called "banking games."
Garlic City hosts 7 poker-based games, which are different from the proposed "No Bust Blackjack" because No Bust requires players to act as the game's bank on a rotating basis.
Garlic City argued No Bust Blackjack would help the casino better compete with San Jose's Bay 101 and Garden City casinos, both of which offer blackjack games.
