what kind of legitimate social club charges by the hour?

we all know that 99% of the people there had the primary purpose of playing poker, and since they charged by the hour to be there...they are directly profiting by running a gambling house.

First off, I find this topic interesting, and I like playing Devil's Advocate, (I did not even know Gambling in NJ was legal until this came out other than casinos of course) I hope you do not think I am arguing for the sake of arguing, but.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So if a social club that charges by the hour then it seems less legitamate.

What about a card game at a Country Club. For example, I am a member at Panther Vally Country Club. I am an associate member. As an associate member, I get to play Golf on certain times, and have access to the club house. Let's say that I do not play Golf, but I like the social aspect of the club. I paid an initial fee, and monthly dues. I only do two activities:

1) I eat at the club house (really only because they make me)

2) I play cards their Once a month. They hold a Hold'em tournament.

Is this more legitimate because I pay monthly vs. hourly? As a member, I would like to pay hourly so I can pay as I go.
