What happened to the Big Slick Club

[mangarata]

I stopped by last night and it's locked up tight. Says the fire marshall shut it down. Is that all there is to the story?

I heard last night it got raided. Along with another club out on the Island.

A sign on the door said the fire marshal shut it down? Was it an official notice, or one posted by the club?

I have no personal knowledge, but I read this on RGP yesterday:

After being open approximately 2 months, the Bohemia, NY b&m club "Big
Slick" got shut down last night. Like I told you Jason, it doesn't matter
if your tables have no center cut-out where the dealer box should be. You
simply cannot get around the fact that running a poker room in NY is
illegal...however ridiculous that may seem. In fact, it IS ridiculous.


At any rate, sorry to see it happened as you had a very nice looking & BIG
place. The bottom line is this: If you piss off the wrong people, you WILL
get shut down. Here are some things you may wish to consider for the future:


-If you are taking time or raking your game, you do not charge your players
for food and drink. For example, you charged your players $.75 for a bottle
of water. That alone might have gotten you shut down.
-Your dealers should be able to give your players at least 7 hands a
down...even in no-limit games.


Good luck in the future...
