Night club and licensed three table card room owned by Jay Tucker, and managed by Dave Irwin. The "Maverick Club" was previously at this address. It became "Tex's Saloon and Casino", also owned by Tucker.

Tucker, was dubbed the "King of Sacramento County Card Rooms" by The Gambling Scene magazine. He also owned the Embers Casino, and the Nashville West Card Room #2 which became his River City Casino, all in neighboring Sacramento.

C. W. Rice shipped the HHL-mold chips in 1974 and and L-mold chips in 1976 to the Nashville West Club, 5420 Auburn Blvd., Sacramento. These chips may have been used at this location also.

TTSS Enterprises Inc. was the name of Tucker's incorporated business that owned his card rooms. It is possible that these ”T.T.S.S. Ent.” chips were also used here.
