Speaking of NYC Poker and gambling: Question about the past
In Andy Bellin's Poker Nation, he describes the poker scene in NYC from the early 90's pretty vividly.
At one point in the book he talks about Chinatown "Blackjack and *ahem* BJ [censored] parlors". Now, I'm not the most well connected guy but as your garden variety degenerate I've seen or heard about my share of strip joints, massage joints and poker clubs, but never have I seen or heard about anything about a casino operation, much less one that also acted as a brothel. I'm not asking for current info here, but I am curious if anyone has ever seen one of these places first hand. It doesn't surprise me if they existed/exist. But I am mildly surprised I've never known anyone who's been to one. generally it seems like the people I encounter in some poker rooms might be the kind of guys who would have been to places like this. But never heard a peep. Just curious. Anyone have any stories to share? I find it pretty interesting. |
