10. "Games of skill": the last refuge of someone running an illegal casino

Tue Nov 10, 2015, 10:22 PM

Nov 2015

You'll love this: Up the road a piece from me is a tribal casino. They run, as all tribal casinos do, under a gaming compact with the state. Theirs says, in no uncertain terms, No Table Games. Only machine games are allowed.

In 2014, they built a poker room at their casino.

When the state took them to court to shut down the poker room (which was accomplished; there is no poker room out there now), the tribe claimed poker was a game of skill.

In the instant case...haven't these assholes ever thought about buying a couple of congressmen, like the beer companies do? They're pretty cheap nowadays and do come in handy.
