california is the only state with legalized cardrooms, correct?
NOT including indian casinos and other similar establishments that happen to have a poker room as an afterthought, but legitimate legal cardrooms.
i happened to be looking through some listings and there are 119 licensed cardrooms in the state of california which must make for a really saturated market i'd assume. anyone have any other insight on how competetive the business is and if the majority of rooms are pulling a profit? |

As far as I know, the difference between legalized non-Native American gambling in California and legalized non-Native American gambling elsewhere is that California law only allows games where players play against other players, not the house. These games include but are not limited to poker. Other states don't appear to have made this distinction, but I could be wrong.

There is a card room - canterbury card club. It's all details. |

Washington and Colorado I believe have stand-alone non-Indian cardrooms. Not on the scale of California cardrooms.
On a $3/$6 table at Bay 101 in San Jose, the house drop/rake is currently about $160 an hr. They have 22 poker tables ( and 18 'asian games', pai gow poker, etc ). They pay dealers, chiprunners, etc a bit over minimum wage plus some benefits. Place is not always full, but most nights it is close. And then there is the small profit on a bottle of beer. The other club in town, Garden City is similar. |
