Default Re: LA Game busted!

I am not a lawyer, but I thought that it was deemed in CA that poker is not a "gambling" game. That it is a game of skill. If this is true, would it really matter if the game was Hold'em or Rummy? Could the police bust a game of rummy played for money?

I host a home game near Palm Springs, CA (in Riverside County) so this has me a bit concerned as I thought the CA law presided. Do I need to check my city and county laws for compliance?
