About Oasis Card Room

Oasis Card Room is a licensed California card room in Ridgecrest, California, operating since 1991. The property is regulated by the California Gambling Control Commission / Bureau of Gambling Control with a 21+ minimum age. The directory listing carries a LOW data-confidence score — the field-level information available for this property is thinner than for most California card rooms in our dataset, and the address on file points to a Puerto Rico street that does not correspond to Ridgecrest. Treat the counts and game list below as directional rather than definitive and verify specifics directly with the property before traveling.

Ridgecrest sits in the high desert of Kern County at the western edge of the Mojave, roughly 180 miles northeast of Los Angeles and adjacent to the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. The town is small — about 27,000 residents — which means Oasis Card Room serves a local and military-adjacent player base rather than a destination-tourism crowd. Like all licensed California card rooms, the table games run under the state’s player-banked model: the house does not bank any action, and a third-party proposition player handles settlement on each table.

Games at Oasis Card Room

The floor carries four game formats spanning table games and electronic machines — a broader mix of table formats than many small-market California casinos in the high desert.

Blackjack on the floor operates as a California-rules variant — player-banked with a third-party banker covering each hand. Caribbean Stud Poker is a five-card stud poker variant played against the dealer rather than other players, with an optional progressive side bet. The roulette listed in our directory is almost certainly an electronic or automated format rather than a live-dealer wheel — live roulette is not authorized at California card rooms under the player-banked framework, so any roulette offering on this floor would run as an electronic terminal.

The 320 slot machines make Oasis Card Room’s floor larger on the electronic side than many card rooms in smaller California markets, though it is worth noting that several Ridgecrest card rooms may show different machine counts on property than what the directory captures. The property does not list a dedicated poker room in our data — no live-poker variants or tournament schedules appear in the directory tags.

Amenities

The property carries a notably full amenity set in our directory data for a smaller-market card room — buffet, full restaurant, self-parking, retail shops, and valet service all appear in the feature tags.

The buffet and restaurant combination makes the venue more of a destination dining option in Ridgecrest than many card rooms its size. Valet parking is atypical for a standalone card room in a town of this scale and suggests the property may draw from a wider radius than strictly local players — though without a hotel on site, overnight visitors will need third-party lodging. There is no loyalty program, no events page, and no promotions page in our directory data for this property.

Location & access

Oasis Card Room is listed in the Ridgecrest area of Kern County, California — high-desert country at the western edge of the Mojave Desert roughly 180 miles northeast of Los Angeles and about 110 miles east of Bakersfield via Highway 178. Ridgecrest is adjacent to the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, the U.S. Navy’s largest single landholding and the town’s primary employer. The venue likely serves a mixed player base of local residents, base personnel, and routing travelers on the 395 corridor.

The address on file — 8000 Tartak Street in Carolina, Puerto Rico — does not correspond to any Ridgecrest location and appears to be a directory listing error rather than a secondary location. Visitors should confirm the correct physical address through the property or the California Bureau of Gambling Control before traveling. Self-parking and valet parking are both tagged, and the on-site restaurant and buffet make the venue self-contained for a visit — there is no need to leave the property for food between sessions.

What to know before visiting

Players in Ridgecrest and the Indian Wells Valley who want table games or slots without a multi-hour drive have this property as the local option — assuming the venue is actively operating and the address can be confirmed.
