Opening a legal cardroom

[AKQJ10]

Even in California, probably the US state best known for local non-casino cardrooms, the number of rooms has been capped until 2001. WA and MT are the other states I know of that have local cardrooms, and frankly in the US they're probably your best bet.

Montana Department of Justic - Gaming Regulation (somewhere on that site there's a list of hole-in-the-wall rooms)

Do the job right in Montana and you might get business from 2+2 author Ray Zee!

A nice thing about employing people in your cardroom is that they will all work on tips. I have even known places to take 15% from their dealers tips.

Is this even legal? I've never seen a cardroom where the dealers worked only for tips.

Why do you WANT to run a cardroom?

Just curious, I have no helpful info for you.

I would recommend working in a cardroom for several years before doing this. Or I suppose you could go to business school and then later try to find a partner with casino experience. But it's certainly not something you can do as "a really fun thing to do after undergrad".

You need to ask tworooks, he holds all the answers.

I heard TwoRooks was grounded though...so you might have to wait a bit.
