i'm not sure also about the other article, but "Al Otto's Poker club" was raided, and shut down for the night.
No money was confiscated and he got an injunction against the town that has allowed him to continue to operate for the time being..

It seems that Al Otto was able to argue in court that he may be operating legally, so the court issued an injunction until the case is heard. This is not surprising, but it also doesnt mean he is operating legally - that is still to be determined.
Without going into research my understanding is that NYS will issue a temporary license to operate a poker tournament for charity. The charity must be a licensed regulated charity (not just a not for profit business), and the donation plan must be approved. These two rooms sound like they think they found a loophole that likely won't hold up.
