Owned by Ernest “Ernie” Primm. It opened with 35 card tables and was next door to the ”Monterey Club”, which Primm also owned. The two clubs were connected by a walkway, with a bar and restaurant serving both clubs. In the 1950s, the Rainbow Club was known for hosting Gardena's highest stakes poker games.
