how hard is it to legally open up a cardroom in socal?
 

Talking like around 20 tables, just poker..no casino games. What do i have to go through to get the licenses?

Re: how hard is it to legally open up a cardroom in socal?
 

You can't. There is a State moratorium on new cardrooms. Even if there wasn't it would require a city wide vote to approve unless it was in one of the cities already approved for legalized poker.

Please don't play with objects small enough to fit in your mouth. Make sure an adult supervises you when you're near open water or gravity.

Oceans 11 predates the moratorium by several years. So do the Bicycle, Commerce, Bay 101, Hustler, Normandie, Hawaiian Gardens, Hollywood Park, Diamond Jim's, and the other hundreds of cardrooms you could name. So none of these is relevant to your case, because you haven't already been running a cardroom.

I'm also quite confident this thread is a put-on, so I hope that deadpanning a straight answer has only added to the hilarity.

The first reply should of ended it, so since it didn't, let me be direct.

You can't do it.

Now go [censored] yourself. See you at HG.

I've heard Oceans Eleven was successful at doing so. You should go ask them. Maybe they know the secret.

You would be what we professionals refer to as SOL.

Also, there's one in Los Angeles called The Bicycle. Trust me, it's there. So obviously it can be done. Really.

If you are really serious about this, contact TwoRooks. He has a lot of experience in this field and can give you very good advice about proceeding.

I think TwoRooks' place has been open for a couple of years. From what I understood at the time it was a relatively small place but I think he was planning on bringing in some casino table games as well.

OP this is definitely where you'll want to start...Tworooks has the goods on SoCal poker rooms.
