Tournament admission could be no more than 50 dollars per person. Players could only wager with chips, not money. Games can't last more than 24 hours, and only the best tournament player can win a cash prize — one not exceeding 100 dollars. [/ QUOTE ] That is strange |

Because lawmaking is a process of compromise you sometimes have first start with small concesions and it opens the door later on for greater legislation. John Burton in the California legislature was famous for ramming really large pieces of legislation through a process similar to this.

This is actually counter-productive with the indian casino pact that was recently proven to be with in the bounds of the NY State constitution. Its possible that the actual bill has concessions for the soon to be opened casinos in the Catskills and other areas. The Concord is projected to open before 2007, there is no feedback at this time if they will include a poker room (but its safe to assume they will).

Beware the Law of Unexpected Consequences.
This could have the effect of creating an interest group (poker bar owners) that lobbies the police to crack down on illegal games. After all, what law-abiding business wants competition that doesn't play by the same strict rules? |

I don't think this will generate enough of a boom that bar owners would care about competition. There will be very few people playing by the rules of this bill.
