Re: Baltimore MD Cardroom Busted
Don't know where to start. Paying taxes has nothing to do with this. Casinos pay taxes. All cash businesses pay taxes. If they skim they're subject to the same law as anyone else. Don't know...

Re: Tipping the floor in cardroom
The dealers are performing a mechanical function, not making decisions which are sometimes judgment calls. If the dealer is fixing the deck in collusion with a player, it would be prearranged and...

Re: Tipping the floor in cardroom
Thank you very helpful. I am referring to a small room where the floor is the brush. I agree they should be compensated appropriately by the house and should share in the dealer's tips if there is...

Tipping the floor in cardroom
I used to work for a judge who refused to shake anyone's hand after settling a case even in chambers. He said the other party will wonder what was put in my hand. The floor may have to make a...

Re: NYC - BPC Club raided
Careful whom you call idiot. A 4 year old can beat the best backgammon player in the world in one game, but that did not stop the New York State courts from deciding that betting on backgammon is...
