Railbirding Underage in AC

JoeC · #1 06-16-2005, 02:52 PM

Hey guys, I've seen a ton of posts on playing underage in casinos but I've never seen this mentioned. I will be in AC for a day next week, and I'm not sure if I want to take the risk of playing underage. Is anyone going to give me trouble if I spend some time watching poker games at the Borg and the Taj?

Thanks... for the record, I'm 18 and I'm often told I look a lot older.

Borg will often ID when you get off the escalator to the poker room.

I know you have to be 21 to be on the casino floor, but I'm not sure about the poker room. I used to play poker at the Taj when i was 18 and was never carded, so i doubt they will care if you're just watching some of the games. As a side note, my friend who is under 21 plays in AC all the time at the Taj and Tropicana and says that he usually walks right up to the floorman and says something along the lines of "Hi, my name is _____, I'm from Pennsylvania and staying in town for the night and would like to play some "insert whatever limit you want to play" texas hold em. He says that hes done that countless times and has never been carded. Hope that helps.

Interesting, I may try that. During the day, do either of those places generally spread any NL higher than 1-2?

Yes. Taj, Borg, and Trop all spread 2/5 NL, and occasionally higher if there is enough interest (definitely 5/10 NL on the weekends)

Yes, borg has 25/50 no max. Take a seat! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hah I am DEFINITELY not playing that game. But seriously... the Borg spreads 25/50 on weekdays during the day? That's impressive, I figured something that big would be weekends only.

When I goto AC I play at the Trop... I get carded about 50% of the time at random times... I was at the end of a 10 hour session, and thats when I got carded one time, I guess they saw my stack [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I used to play blackjack at the sands underage... I look like im 17 so I usually ran into problems. GL.
