NYC Mass email

[The Armchair]

I just got this email, edited, by a club which I will keep nameless. Anyone have any idea if they are trying to make law here?

Its the only way they can theoretically continue to stay open within the law. However the definition of "promotion" of gambling has yet to be tested, so their theory could possibly fail. For instance providing chips in an organized manner may break they law. Time will tell.

PS: I know for a fact that they are not the only club considering this option.

This is exactly what the club in Dover, NJ was like. FYI: they no longer open their doors. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I really enjoyed the ensuing e-mail clusterf***.

Try re-reading the OP. He specifically said "by a club which I will keep nameless". If he posted the clubs name, a ton of angry PMs would have rained down upon him because we all know not to discuss this openly without the club's permission.

I think there was sarcasm in the question given the number of emails many of us got (even though we have never stepped foot in the club).

Agree. This was one of the funniest reply-to-all clusterfvcks I've ever seen. And I used to play over there a lot. To think, I was almost the guy who set up their mailing list software - thankfully somebody else beat me to it.
