First bar in California close to wagering approval
By Steve Andersen
Satellite wagering in California's sports bars may begin in San Clemente later this summer.

Michael Merrigan, the owner of OC Tavern in San Clemente, in Orange County, received a favorable ruling from that city's planning commission on Wednesday, and now needs only approval by the San Clemente City Council before his bar can begin to accept wagers. Satellite betting there could start during the Del Mar meeting, which begins on July 21.

Legislation allowing wagering in sports bars and card clubs passed in 2007, but so far only one card club in Southern California has opened a satellite facility.
