Underage Gambling

Gambler101 · #1 10-26-2005, 04:25 PM

I would like to take a trip to Atlantic City to play poker, but I am under 21 years of age. I was informed by my friends that the Taj Mahal does not card. Please advise me regarding this adventure.

Thanks,

... Be sure to lose, and you won't have any trouble.

When you get to the table, make sure you order a drink if you want to pull this off. That way, they'll know you're 21.

is the legal age for online poker 18?

At most sites. I think it's 21 at Paradise.

It is "legal" if you are 18, but who the hell could see you through your computer? I've been playing for money since I was 16 and have been doing very well (online, that is). As for the Taj, don't bring an ID. Just see if you can get a seat and then see what happens from there. If you do win and they card you, pay someone else to cash your chips for you. And then collect it anywhere but the gaming floor (too many cameras). Obviuoulsy, you want someone you trust cashing in your chips.

I haven't seen them card anyone at the tables or buying chips at the Taj, but I have heard of them carding people trying to cash their chips out at the end of the day...and if they card you then cause you have a babyface and you are underage, they police will comfiscate your chips and give you an expensive ticket.
