Colma is a small city in San Mateo County immediately south of San Francisco and adjacent to Daly City. The Hillside Boulevard address sits near the I-280 corridor, giving Lucky Chances access from the Peninsula’s northern end and the South San Francisco market. The Bay Area card room corridor extends from Colma south through San Mateo and Santa Clara counties; Lucky Chances occupies a convenient position for players commuting from San Francisco or the northern Peninsula.

Poker Room
Lucky Chances Casino’s 29-table poker room spreads 7 Card Stud, Limit Hold’em, No Limit Texas Hold’em, and Omaha Hi-Lo.
7 Card Stud is the notable inclusion. Stud poker has largely been displaced by Texas Hold’em at California card rooms over the past two decades — most rooms in the Bay Area run Hold’em and Omaha exclusively, with mixed-game rotation being the primary vehicle for Stud play. A consistent 7 Card Stud spread at a dedicated card room is a genuine differentiator in San Mateo County.
Omaha Hi-Lo (8-or-better) is the split-pot Omaha variant requiring a qualifying low hand. Its presence alongside 7 Card Stud positions Lucky Chances as a destination for mixed-game and non-Hold’em players who have few Bay Area options outside the major San Jose rooms to the south.
Twenty-nine tables is a mid-scale poker room — large enough to spread multiple games simultaneously around the clock, but smaller than the flagship South Bay rooms that run 50-plus tables.
Table Games
Lucky Chances Casino spreads 31 table game positions including 3 Card Poker, Baccarat, Blackjack, Double Hand Poker, EZ Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.
EZ Baccarat is the dominant baccarat format in California gaming: rather than charging a 5% commission on winning banker bets, the house removes the commission entirely and pushes on a three-card banker-total of seven. Double Hand Poker is a two-hand poker format in which players receive a larger hand and must arrange it into two separate poker hands — similar to the Pai Gow Poker structure — and is common at Bay Area card rooms.
Thirty-one table game positions is a reasonable complement to the 29-table poker operation, giving the room a balanced floor split between poker and pit play.

One of the few rooms in the Bay still spreading Stud
I drive up from San Mateo specifically for the 7 Card Stud game. Most rooms have dropped it completely, so having a reliable Stud spread this close to San Francisco is genuinely useful. The Omaha Hi-Lo action was solid on my last visit too. Floor is well-run, 24/7 without issue. Doesn't have the amenity footprint of the big San Jose rooms but it doesn't need to — the poker product stands on its own.

The Bay Area's most accessible Stud game north of San Jose
Lucky Chances Casino's 7 Card Stud spread fills a real gap in the Bay Area card room market. Most Peninsula and South Bay rooms have eliminated Stud in favor of Hold'em-only or Hold'em-plus-Omaha lineups; a consistent Stud game at Colma's Hillside Boulevard address gives mixed-game and Stud-focused players a practical northern stopping point. The Omaha Hi-Lo complement rounds out a non-Hold'em menu that's genuinely unusual for this part of California. Our data for this property is limited, so contact the casino directly before visiting.
