Re: Legalities of starting a Holdem tournament at a Pennsylvania Bar.
I believe as long as all of the money goes back to the winning players, and the bar isn't profiting one ioda, you'll be clear.
I'm in PA and we had a local bar raided by the cops during the middle of a tournament. The buy-in was $50, but $5 was going to the house and they claimed it was for food, and they had a buffet out and everything, but it wasn't clean with the law I guess.
I've seen other tournaments with the buy-ins going completely back to the winners, and it never got raided.. So I'm assuming it's okay.
