Does Livermore Have Slots?

Livermore is a city located in Alameda County, California, in the United States. The city lies in the San Francisco Bay Area’s East Bay region, about 25 miles (40 km) east of Oakland. As of the 2010 census, Livermore had a population of 80,968.

The city’s name comes from Robert Livermore, a British rancher who settled in the area in the 1840s. Livermore is the home of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, for which the chemical element livermorium is named.

Livermore is located on the eastern edge of California’s Central Valley, in the Tri-Valley subregion. The city is bordered by Pleasanton to the west and Tracy to the south.

The San Francisco Bay forms part of its northern border with Fremont and Union City.

Livermore has a Mediterranean climate characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. January is the coolest month with an average maximum temperature of 58.9 °F (14.9 °C).

July is the warmest month with an average maximum temperature of 94.6 °F (34.8 °C). The highest recorded temperature was 115 °F (46 °C) on June 15, 1961; the Lowest recorded temperature was 17 °F (−8 °C) on December 11, 1932.

The city averages 16 inches (410 mm) of precipitation annually, most of which falls between November and March. Summer months are generally rain-free except for occasional thunderstorms during late summer afternoons and evenings; these storms occasionally produce hail and strong outflow winds that can down trees and power lines.

Winter storms are usually weak systems that move in from the Gulf of Alaska and drop very little rain or snow as they move through Northern California; however, more significant systems do occur about once per year on average. One such system produced several inches of wet snow in Livermore on December 11, 1932 that accumulated to a depth of 8 inches (20 cm) on some level surfaces before melting later in the day as temperatures rose above freezing.

In recent years,[when?] Livermore has experienced a population boom due largely to its proximity to Silicon Valley and its position along Interstate 580/Interstate 680 which provide quick access to both employment centers. The growth has led to increased pressure on local infrastructure including housing, roads, water supply, and sewer systems.

The City has undertaken a number of planning efforts to manage this growth while preserving Livermore’s unique small-town character including updating its General Plan and Zoning Code.

does not have any slot machines or casinos within its city limits; however there are several gambling establishments located nearby in neighboring communities such as Tracy and Pleasanton. While there has been some discussion among city leaders about potentially adding slots or other forms of gambling within Livermore in order to generate additional revenue, there has been no serious movement on this issue and it remains unlikely that any changes will be made in the near future.
