"Sean Murphy, who ran the Cavendish Club in Belfast, was today convicted at Belfast Magistrates Court on four counts under the Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements Order 1985. One of the counts related to running poker on his premises. Under the 1985 legislation there is a £4 limit on what players are allowed to wager and a cap of 60 pence on the house rake. Not easy to run a commercial operation on this basis. Following the recent ruling in the Gutshot case, Mr Murphy was unable to convince the court that poker should be regarded as a game of skill."
