Games at Palomar Card Club
Palomar Card Club spreads Pai Gow Tiles as the headline table game format. Pai Gow Tiles uses 32 Chinese dominoes (grouped into pairs) rather than playing cards, with hand rankings based on tile combinations. The format differs structurally from Pai Gow Poker and requires separate learning.
Slot machines are also available as electronic gaming on the 7-table floor.

Poker Section
Palomar Card Club runs Limit Hold’em, No Limit Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hi, and Omaha Hi-Lo. The inclusion of both Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi-Lo alongside Hold’em variants makes the room more mixed than most San Diego card rooms, which typically run Hold’em-only.
Omaha Hi-Lo (also known as Omaha 8-or-Better) is a split-pot format where the pot is divided between the best high hand and the best qualifying low hand. Specific stakes and daily game availability should be confirmed with the room before visiting.

Palomar Card Club is at 2724 El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego, California. El Cajon Boulevard runs east-west through the eastern residential neighborhoods of San Diego, accessible from Interstate 15 and Interstate 8 via surface streets. Self-parking and restaurant are available on site.
