The roof collapsed before Ann Green got inside. 'I'm just happy the casino wasn't completely full, and a lot of people didn't get hurt,' said Green, 52, of Los Angeles.
The casino has remained at the same location about 12 miles (19 kilometres) south of downtown Los Angeles since the 1940s, according to the newspaper.
It was purchased in 2016 by Larry Flynt, the publisher of 'Hustler' magazine who owns several casinos and clubs in Southern California.
