Casino M8trix

This casino is my new place in 2026. I used to play in Bay 101, but the environment, the floor managers, and everyone else running that show are so unprofessional that I decided to take a break from playing at Bay 101. M8trix is clean, nice staff, better quality food. Only issue is they don’t have tournaments yet. I highly suggest this casino start planning some tournaments to win the competition over the crappy Bay 101.

Had fun playing here and drinks are super cheap during happy hour. Currently $5/ drink so definitely can't complain. Like other places in the bay area, they charge you every hand you want to play.

This place is amazing and honestly one of the only casino/card room that's ever let me hit big not just once or twice, I'm talking about almost every time I go there I win and know when to walk away. Walk in with $200-$400 and walk out with $2900-$4000. I win about 8 out of 10 times that I go there and to me that's a win ratio you don't see at casinos! Thank you to the extremely friendly staff and dealers the atmosphere here is most welcoming and I feel like they're genuine in actually wanting to see people win. Most just don't know when to walk away and get mad and post bad reviews but don't want to tell people the truth that they was probably actually up but just didn't know when to walk away!

Went for prime rib and was not disappointed. Large table area but no slots.

I had to wait a long time for a table, but it was very busy, as soon we sat down at the table, soon attended us, the drinks came fast and what we ordered to eat was 10 /10. there are many people the atmosphere is calm and not noisy you can relax enjoy your food and your drink

Be ready to wait a lot. The wait time for a table can be painfully long, if you’re not regular here. That said, once you’re in, the vibe is very different from usual poker rooms. Tons of interesting, diverse people. Tons of regulars. Feels more social, more alive, and way less rigid than traditional poker spots. If they improved table availability and wait times, this place would be dangerous (in a good way).

Was well worth it. The food was awesome. Very large portions, not really expensive, would definitely go back

Food and service were excellent! Can’t say enough great things about Matt, he was absolutely awesome! We came a trip from Florida and definitely will be back to visit and ask for him. He is what being great at your job and having a great attitude, knowledge, and kindness is all about. If you ever go ask for him. Happy hour food and drinks are a great deal and the menu has something for everyone. Very clean and food came out very quickly. Love the way the waiters help each other out as a team also. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

NO SLOTS HERE! 5 dollar bets was nice to hang in there a little longer lol. The food and service was great. Bathrooms are clean & no issues with anything. The place is well kept which is really nice for a casino. I was pleased it didn't smell like smoke inside. Also I don't think there's smoking allowed inside anyway which is great!

Happy hour prices for great appetizers and drinks. Prime Rib French Dip full price but definitely worth it. Alex was our waiter and he was amazing!!! We'll be back soon!!

I usually go here when I want to gamble. Most of the dealers are cool but there's some I actively avoid as they kill the vibe with uncaring attitudes or by dealing bad cards everytime I play against them. Service takes overly long but the people I meet here are nice. I like the decorum and them having the game on. Music is cool

Can't Beat this place During the week for happy hour, starters and fill you up food. Irr the s convenient for us when we travel to San Jose And fly out of airport

Went for a late night drive and felt hungry. Went inside and it was confusing how to order. Went I finally ordered some wonton soup, it took 20 minutes to arrive because they forgot about it. Had I not said not said anything, I would have never gotten my food. Anyways so disappointed that I got basically soy-sauce and water, SOME wontons. Definitely did not tip.

This is for Sunday 12/28 For the sports dining area We were really excited to try Casino Matrix for the first time, but unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing. When we arrived at the sports bar, we were directed to the opposite side of the room to check in. We provided our phone number and were told we'd receive a text once our table was ready. That part was fine. When we received the text, we returned to the same host stand where we originally checked in and were told to go "to the front." From there, things became very confusing. The host helped other guests before us, and when we finally got her attention, it became clear there was a lack of communication among the staff about where guests with a "table ready" text were supposed to go. The place appeared understaffed, so we tried to be patient, but when we explained our concerned, and it was not handled well and we were told to speak to the manager. We were then told to find the manager ourselves rather than having one called over. Eventually, the manager, Hector, found us. Instead of focusing on a solution or acknowledging the confusion, he made a very rude assumption, saying we were "walking around like we owned the place." That comment was completely uncalled for and inaccurate. We were only following the directions given to us by staff. Only after we explained that this was our first time at Casino Matrix did Hector begin to look for solutions. Even then, there was no apology for the poor communication or how the situation was handled. We did apologize to the hostess because it feels like she was caught in a crossfire of problems prior to us. The issue was not caused by us--it was due to a lack of coordination between hosts and a lack of professional leadership in resolving a simple problem. Once we were finally seated, service was slow at first. However, our server Alex was the one bright spot of the night. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and professional, and truly turned the dining portion of our visit around. If you do decide to come here and have Alex as your server, please tip him generously--he deserves it. Unfortunately, due to how management handled this situation, we will likely never return. Hector left a very poor impression of what could have been a great new spot.

I came to play Texas Hold'em, it's my first time at this casino, and honestly it has been a very bad experience and poor service from the host, a bald man in a gray suit with no beard. He was seating people who arrived without being on the list, even seating men under women's names. Obviously, they give preference to customers they already know or to those who pay to skip the waiting list. I've been waiting for over two and a half hours, watching, and it's clear they manipulate the list to benefit certain clients. Very disappointing that the casino allows this kind of unfair and advantageous practices.

Great place to watch sports n food is good too! Big screen and not too loud. Food is better than most sport bars. Service good too! Have not gambled there !

I love coming here for the food & drinks. It's reasonably priced and not rowdy and nice to have a few over tasty food and good company. I've tried a few diff items but my favorite so far would prob be the calamari, sushi roll & mi goreng noodles. They have a good variety of food. Also make their drinks strong. Service is usually pretty good

Nice place to come and have a drink. To play is actually nice but they only have a few games and no slot machines. I like to play roulette. Overall place is nice but just to eat and drink.

This place just robbed me of $1400 after I had been coming regularly and playing high stakes. See the player to my right with 3s...they never got a chance to hit (or split), but floor manager took zero responsibility and said it plays as is. Make sure and come here if you want to get screwed out of your money by incompetent jerks. FYI...Bay 101 is right across the street and Artichoke Joe's pays 3/2 on blackjack and they haven't robbed me yet (afaik)

Brought my dad for Thursday's prime rib dinner. It was so busy since it is the nba finals and it's a holiday so there's more people than usual. Service was as good as it can be since it was packed. Glad that there is no smoking inside so we were able to enjoy our dinner. Only down fall was that I asked for some hot sauce but was brought soy sauce. Next time will need to try the other specials during the week.

Fun atmosphere! The drinks are good and food is great. Fast service and friendly staff.

My review is for the restaurant part of this casino, not so much for the casino itself. I like that the restaurant has its own entrance from the parking lot so that you don't exactly need to walk through a portion of the gambling area to get to the restaurant. I recall it was clean and well-kept; the servers were all nice and friendly; the food was pretty Good! My husband and I have been here twice now, each time with different company, and everyone has Loved their food! (My sis had ordered med rare steak but it came out nearly well, which she actually wasn't Thrilled out but she finished her dish, nonetheless.) I like the varieties of options there, definitely a Plus!

Don't offer alcohol if you're going to tow your regular customer's car less than 24 hour parking there. SMH, who's hiring security here. Bad business protocols.

A great place with a nice atmosphere and delicious food. The service is excellent. If you enjoy gambling and good food, this is the place for you.

Apparently I didn't get sexually assaulted is what the security guards wanna call it. Had the audacity to tell me "even a female manger went over it and said there was nothing" when there was a clear image of him passing by me so close he touched me and when I turned to see who it was my brother in law and I saw him smiling at me like a pervert. (I'm 26 and he was a short old Asian man) I got grazed on my butt as I was leaning against a chair. My man reported it. AN HOUR LATER, I got approach with two 40 males showing me proof of him clearly grazing my ass. We went back and forth with this shitty management and as soon as I told them "what if I was your daughter?" THEY BOTH STAYED QUIET!!! They knew they were wrong. That's why people don't report stuff like this cause of people like that. Such a shame. Never coming back here again. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PLEASE. THIS PLACE IS SKETCH FOR FEMALES

Food (4/5): I always get the liquid lunch -- a NY steak, two sides, and a beer/other drink for $15 pre-tax is an amazing value deal especially for the Bay Area. They are able to deliver on the rareness of steak I ask for, medium rare, each time. The food isn't going to Michelin star level obviously, but the food is decent enough to scarf down. Service (4/5): I've only had good service--the bartenders, waitresses, and cleaning staff have always been courteous and kind. Ambiance (4/5): There is bar seating and table seating. I've only gone during a weekday lunch hour, but both the casino and the food seem to get a good amount of business. I've been to M8trix multiple times, and I've had a good experience with the food, service, ambiance.

My friend came to Matrix to play poker on Saturday night after done playing and he walk to his car , one car stop with no license plate pull window and a gun to my friend. They took $3,000 and his laptop. There is no security around this casino not safe need to be careful when playing here.

This five-star review is strictly for the restaurant -- I don't gamble, but I do eat well, and this place delivers. Hands down, the best steak and eggs in Silicon Valley. Perfectly cooked, seasoned right, and always hits the spot. I usually add the fruit bowl on the side, and let me tell you -- this isn't one of those sad little cups with a lonely slice of melon. Zone 8 brings out a generous, colorful mix of fresh fruit that actually feels like a real side, not an afterthought. The vibe? Chill. It's never overly crowded when I've gone, and service is always smooth and efficient. Food-wise, I've worked my way through the menu -- the pho, sandwiches, and appetizers all hold their own. Solid flavor, great portions, and quality ingredients. Highly recommend giving it a try whether you're just grabbing a bite or making it a destination meal.

Great great food. Nice portions. Highly recommend. Comfortable. Big TVs. Can be a little slow service.

I love that they have a 24 hour food menu it's limited but this is probably one of the few places where you can order pho fried rice chicken Alfredo pasta and Cesar salad at 4am Kind & friendly staff Great place to watch sports games. It's cool that the employees wear sports team jerseys when there's a game on.

Always a fun place to go! I went there to watch the 49'ers game while a friend sat at the poker tables. No sound was on. The drink and food prices are average for a casino. I ended up meeting a cool couple and went salsa dancing in Campbell afterward. It was a fun time! The reason for the four stars is that at the time of my visit, it didn't appear they had enough wait staff to cover the floor and the poker tables so hailing a waiter was a chore. Maybe I'll have a better experience next time.

Went here for late night pho and got a bowl of water down noodle soup with no flavor. Service was okay but the guy who brought us the food dropped a spoon and still gave it to us. We asked for some additional ingredients but they didn't really have any. I wouldn't recommend the pho. We didn't try anything else on the menu.

This review is based on the vibes, drinks and foods. We sit near the bar, they have summer $5 drinks which is a great deal. We had sushi and it's delicious. Overall we enjoyed our food and the vibes, it's way better than any restaurant.

I come here for happy hour. Half price on all appetizers! I like their plain wings with a side of ranch! Also if you want to come here to play poker be willing to wait up to 2 hours before you get a seat. The lighting here is very dim on the casino floor(a bit depressing); however the bar & restaurant has brighter lighting, and much livelier.

I love their fried rice. Decided to spend the night in playing monopoly with friends so we decided to order some Asian food. I know it's a casino. I know what you're saying, but you can't knock it until you try it really love that fried rice definitely I must have.

Their Hong Kong wings are one of the two best wings, I have ever had. (The other being Chaplin Sports Bistro in Union City.) The drinks and the baristas at the bar are both good. First time was great. Second time was just alright. In spite of it being a casino the dining areas were really clear of any gambling and I like it that way. I go there just for the food. Parking can be a pain sometimes. Such a large lot and it is always almost full you have to drive around to find the rare empty spots.

The venue is beautiful. The venue manager is a bit rude and cold. If they have someone better this place would get alot more event bookings. For now, dont recommend booking this place for your corporate events.

Cool place next to my hotel. It's a hotel too with a big poker room on the main floor with all kinds of board/table games you can play. The sushi place is a joke. Don't order the caterpillar roll because there's no eel on it. The poker was fun and the people all seemed really friends including the dealers and players. If I am back in the area I will go back

Dave L and Mike are the absolute best bartenders you could have at a business like this. I have gotten introduced to many friends because of these guys. Being a new guy in San Jose I appreciate the kindness these guys have showed me.

Be aware of the receipt from Zone 8 Sports Bar & Grill generated tips. 18% of $35 should be $6.3 for tip , they typed in $11.34. No tips for TAX. Why do they add the tips for tax.

Happy hour drinks. I've been here multiple times and this is not what they serve you. I ordered an old fashion. I asked the server why I got half a cup she said it had one shoot of vodka? What!? I'm confused, i thought it was bourbon. The server was clueless on what an old fashion was. The bartender was rude when I said we haven't been served

Came back on a non warriors game night but on a night w a couple big nba games. Unfortunately still the same results...Terrible service!! Took 10m to place a drink and apps order and they did come more quickly than in the past but after that, we had to wave our waitresses down to order. You would think with a 10 person table (and we were all drinking and eating) they would come back more often but I guess not. Not only do they not have waitresses but not that many bus people. Here's some pics of all the dishes stacked up. We felt bad that the buster was busy but once we stacked em, she never came back!! Wth

Be aware! There is a woman at the poker desk named Linda who has shown me and others very discriminatory behavior. She is extremely rude specifically to Asians and will take tips and target Asians on the wait list, who she will move lower on the list even after you've waited for along time! She bullied people including myself multiple times and showed no remorse when I confronted her. Even when I threatened to tell the floor manager she said "go ahead". It's insane the unfair treatment someone like her gets away with especially when you've been waiting patiently. Watch it for Linda!

I'm not a casino fan. I always thought they have mediocre food because they cater to people who get hungry when the gamble. It was a holiday and this place being one of the few places open, my friend n I came to enjoy apps. The place is typical casino bar. Big tvs, lots of bar seats, tables etc. ordered chicken wings: flavor was there but they were dry. We didn't finish it. Chips with melted cheese and pico de gallo : they were okay. Service was okay. The bartender doesn't seem to like my friend. lol. Didn't bother me. lol. I'd go for "drinks" here again if I don't have much choice.

Omg...We got the bad Experience and feel like my racism in my life.I feel like so enjoyable and fun at martix 8 before we met with Liqing who is dealer at our black jack table ;it's not about losing or getting money ;we won 200$ on that round and the way she talked is so bad customer service;My boyfriend wasn't noticed while we had conversation and he asked to put "Can I get more chips " but she replied "what chu want";so he thought it can be added but she threw back our chips back with bad behavior like bad attitude;we are pretty sure we would never came back only for her.We stay love Martix 8 the one casino around our behavior.

Great service even though it was lunch time. Food portions were great and all of our 5 plates were brought at them same time. Kudos.

Prime rib special was a miss. They don't know what medium rare means. I don't like to send food back because that's when they spit in it. Please don't serve overcooked food.

The worst experience. When my cousins from Canada, aged 21 and older, visited, they were denied drinks at the bar due to their Canadian IDs. Despite being allowed to gamble, the casino employees refused to serve them. This policy reflects poor customer service and restrictive regulations. It's disappointing that this place gladly takes people's money but won't serve the drinks we're willing to pay for.

Some guy ran in and took my chips and ran out. They had me wait for over an hour to talk to security and then they did not reimburse me.

Pleasantly surprised they had a sushi confidential here. Great place for a late night snack I think it was like 2 am I got like $100 worth of sushi and crushed it haha! I will make sure I stay at doubletree across the street walking distance on future stays in San Jose :)

The service here was absolutely awful. The food was not so good. DO NOT GET POTATOES OR SQUASH!!!! THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK THEM! They were soooo hard and undercooked it was extremely disappointing. The waitress was so ignorant and careless of how horrible it was. I couldn't believe how much she was careless of the situation. We had to wave down our waitresses like 5 times or more. She never refilled our water and we had to ask multiple times. She didn't give us plates either. We had to ask someone else to help us out. I would HIGHLY recommend going elsewhere because it would be best to starve and just gamble than eat at this place with the cooking management and horrible service.

The Prime Rib is the best I've ever had. So juicy and cooked to perfection. The staff at Lotus Cafe who takes orders is also energetic and cheerful.

So disappointed. I just spent $56 for take out. Not good. The Loaded Baked Potato was not really "loaded," and worse, the potato was undercooked. No one wants to eat an undercooked baked potato. Also, the Street Tacos came with flour tortillas instead of the corn tortillas described on the menu. I don't know ANY Mexicans who make Street Tacos with flour tortillas. The spaghetti was OK, mas o menos. I just expected better from Matrix.

Four different people ID me , the lady with the wing is super rude about it , the guy with the braid says it's state laws however I've been to this Casino so many times before and this has never happened . They could've handled it completely different . They made the whole situation uncomfortable. They could've handled it differently.!

Absolutely LOVED the service at the casino bar here, specifically want to shoutout our AMAZING bartender Coy who made the experience amazing here and REMEMBERED our first drink order when we went to reorder the SAME thing an hour later!! Loved her and she has great vibes, will be coming back just for her in the future! Also shoutout to an amazing server by the name of Melat who was absolutely lovely and made my boyfriend and I feel so taken care of the way she served our food to us. Overall great experience, VERY professional security here who make us feel safe & LOVE their servers!

This review is long overdue! My boyfriend and I moved to Santa Clara two months ago, and we occasionally enjoy gambling, especially playing blackjack. While exploring the area, we discovered M8trix, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. From our very first visit, we've had an amazing time. We've been back numerous times, and every experience has been exceptional. The dealers are always fun, engaging, and incredibly friendly, which makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. On one occasion, while I was standing and watching my boyfriend play, a kind staff member brought me a chair and offered me a seat. It was such a simple gesture, but it really stood out and made the experience even better (he gambles for a long time, haha). Beyond the great service, the food is fantastic. My boyfriend and I especially love coming here just for their Philly cheesesteaks--they're that good! Overall, M8trix has become our go-to spot. Whenever friends come to visit, we always end up bringing them here, and it never disappoints!

Very beautiful decor for every holidays. Sometimes i come here for food only. The steak was kinda chewy but the fries was crispy i love it.
