California welfare cards can be used in many casino ATMs

Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows a recipient to authorize transfer of their government benefits from a Federal or State account to a retailer account to pay for products received.

In California welfare recipients can get cash from state-issued EBT cards in more than half of the state's casinos and gaming rooms.

Californians can now gamble away their welfare benefits.
