this is very illegal. you will go to jail and you will get busted. if you insist on trying, i reccomend the following:

1. get stamped, unique chips
2. get competent dealers. either pros, or non-trained but very good dealers /experienced poker players. you want FAST shuffling, competent dealing, knowledge of rules, etc
3. get at least large, intimidating person as a security guard
4. offer a promo system to keep people coming back.
5. consider uniforms, or some dress code (uniform) for employees
