Re: Why wouldn\'t this make NY card rooms legal?
It has been recently ruled in the New York courts that even charitable organizations cannot run Poker Tournaments. They can however offer Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, etc. because those games pit the players against the house and not each other. Absolute craziness!
Charging money for food or drink only does not circumvent the laws, nor does charging an entrance fee or time charge...all still illegal.
New York State seems very intent on sending millions, maybe billions of dollars of New Yorker's money to Foxwoods and Atlantic City.
