Only sometimes do professional comedians lose their cool, and George Lopez is known as one of the coolest in the industry. However, over the weekend, Lopez ended his performance at the Eagle Mountain Casino early after hecklers disrupted the show.
Lopez slammed the Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, California, after he left the venue, claiming that it was “inadequate” and that the sold-out show was an unsafe environment.

Recently, many comedians have had to keep their cool while onstage. The most notorious heckling incident is when Will Smith lost his cool and walked on stage to slap comedian Chris Rock at the televised Oscar awards show. Other comedians, such as David Chapelle, had a crazy man with a knife run at him during a live performance.
After all that has happened in the name of comedy over the last few years, we can see why Lopez might have felt threatened. However, most comedians can quickly shut down a heckler or have them tossed from the audience if needed.
California Casinos
Despite the 76 tribal casinos in the state, online California gambling options for residents and visitors often take the driver’s seat. Since the tribal casinos are not licensed or allowed to offer their services online, the most convenient way to gamble in California is with online sites operating outside the country.
California is the land of milk and honey, and the entertainment options are plentiful as the state has several major metropolitan areas. However, the casinos are often located outside the major areas as they must be on tribal land.
Online Casino Gaming Perks
Online casinos offer California players all sorts of perks, including daily tournaments, massive game libraries, additional jackpot rewards, and much more. The main reason most players gravitate towards online casinos is their accessibility and bigger bonus rewards.
Other perks of the online CA casino gambling sites include:
- Cryptocurrency Acceptance
- Lucrative welcome bonuses
- Dailey promotions
- Player Reward programs
- Specialty games
- Other online gambling options are rolled into one player account.
Since federal gambling laws do not address online gambling, it is left for the state to decide what its residents can access online. In recent years, there has been a push to block offshore gambling sites, but as of now, no local legislation has been passed to do that.
