Fake IDs effective?

[mistaken]

So what if I sit down, get confronted, try to leave and they want to escort me to the ID or something? Also I highly doubt they'd let me just grab my chips and leave...
Am I being overly paranoid here??

just be careful and smart.

"Careful and smart" = "don't carry a fake."

You're not being overly paranoid, but I think you should just find a 21+ year old friend who almost kind of looks like you and carry his ID with you when you go - there are no bad beat jackpots in AC so you don't have to worry about that - I've seen people get carded at all the major AC rooms, it's no big deal they just glance at the ID and move on about their business - just play poker, dont order any alcohol, and i think you'll be just fine.

You aren't being paranoid. If they ask for an ID, and you say you'll go get it, you won't be carrying your chips with you.

I think it depends on the spot. A fellow underaged poker playing buddy of mine is friends with a security guard at Foxwoods, and supposedly their protocol for getting caught playing without an ID is they ask you to please cash in your chips and leave. No seizing chips, no calling the cops or anything....I wouldn't know, I've been ID'ed at the door (so I made something up and went in the next door), but once I've been inside I haven't been bothered.

Of course this is for Foxwoods not the Taj so take it for what its worth, Nuffin

Unless the fake ID is quite good, leave it at home. Getting caught with a fake is the nut low, especially if the fake is not in your name. We're talking judges and courtrooms.

However, know this: AC poker rooms are pretty mediocre at carding from my experience. When I just turned 18 I spent three days in AC playing in all three big poker rooms (Trop, Borg, Taj) without getting carded once. And Mike Gallo will tell you that I definitely don't look 21 (or that I definitely didn't at the time.)

If you get caught, just say you left your id in your car and that you want to cash out and go get it. They can't really stop you. Then just go do a different casino.

I think your better off not showing a fake id, rather just saying something like "I left my id in my car I will be right back and quickly gather chips and walk to your car or go to your hotel room"....I am under the age of 21 and have played at the Taj with out a problem if you go to the newer casinos you may have a problem such as the borgata but casinos like the taj they dont id much

if you get carded and say "it's in my car, i'll brb" they aren't going to let you rack your chips and run for the door.

You need to adjust your sarcasm meter, you missed that one.

If they look old enough, they might get by an older retired guy security guy but if they run up against the young geeky one that has all that stuff hanging from his Batmaan style ultily belt, they are screwed.

the closest Indian Casinos are about 8 hours away... Atlantic City is within an hour or so [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

If AC is an hour away, then Foxwoods is a maximum of five and a half hours away.

Math is easy.

Assuming you are in NJ or PA, getting caught with a fake ID can lead to suspension of your drivers license until your 21st birthday.
