Still working on the Les Brugeman gambling angle - The Daily Breeze says he also ran a couple of casinos on The Strand in Redondo Beach - the Surf Club (in the back of an unnamed restaurant) and the Wagon Wheel (another restaurant - or the same?). Anyone know anything further about these dens of iniquity? (Thanks, Daily Breeze, for the description.)
