In 1872 most forms of gambling were banned in California. However many Poker Rooms and Card Clubs appeared in the state. The slot machine was invented in San Francisco and first dispensed cigars and gum. There were also a significant number of cruise chips that took patrons past the three mile limit to gamble. The racetrack was a form of gambling always allowed. Since 1990 there have been casinos on Indian reservations. Although fought by the government, they continue to flourish. In the year 2000, a statewide referendum legalized Indian casinos. They typically consist of some tables, a few hundred slots and a bingo hall and tend to be a bit out of the way.
