Games

Nineteenth Hole’s gaming floor covers 5 poker tables and 2 table game positions. The poker room spreads No Limit Texas Hold’em and runs regular tournament freerolls and events. The table game positions offer Keno, Lottery, No-Bust 21st Century Blackjack, and Pull Tabs.

No-Bust 21st Century Blackjack is a California card room adaptation of standard blackjack played under the player-banking model. The “No-Bust” variant removes the dealer-bust loss mechanic: when the dealer busts, the result is a push rather than a player win, with compensating rule adjustments to the overall structure. Keno, Lottery, and Pull Tabs are lottery-style gaming products that sit alongside the poker and card game operation.

The 5-table poker room at this scale is suited to neighborhood cash games and small-field tournaments. Game availability and stakes vary by time of day; confirm what’s running before arriving for a specific format.

History

Nineteenth Hole has operated at West Tregallas Road in Antioch since 1967, making it one of the longer-running continuously licensed card rooms in Contra Costa County. The property opened under California’s pre-Gambling Control Act era of municipal card room licensing and has continued operating through multiple regulatory revisions, including the statewide licensing framework established in 1997.

The name and bar-focused format reflect the mid-20th century California card room model, in which licensed card rooms typically operated as neighborhood social establishments combining gaming with bar service, rather than destination gambling venues. This format remains common in smaller Northern California cities where card room licenses predate the modern era of purpose-built gaming properties.

Location

Nineteenth Hole is at 2746 West Tregallas Road in Antioch, California. CA-4 runs through Antioch, connecting the East Bay corridor between Concord and Brentwood. The W Tregallas Road address is near the CA-4 and Lone Tree Way interchange on the west side of Antioch. Self-parking is available on site.

★ Editor note

A 1967 neighborhood card room serving East Contra Costa County

Nineteenth Hole is a small-format neighborhood card room — 5 poker tables, a bar, Keno, and Pull Tabs — that has served the Antioch area since 1967. It is not a destination property; the value is accessibility for East Bay players in the CA-4 corridor who want a nearby No Limit Hold'em cash game or tournament without driving to Concord or the South Bay. The long operating history in a small market is the notable data point.
