We would use real money but nothing too big. Just wondering if this was against the law

  1. I've been in and around the casino business since I was 3 (parents and I were/are dealers) and I can tell you it is certainly against the law as long as cash money is the prize. But they do go on often. Hope this helps.


  2. H3ll no if it is in your house or in one of your friends houses then it is perfectly fine.

  3. Technically, yes (most places anyway). However, it's unlikely anyone would take much notice just because of that. Where you might get busted is if police are called for other reasons (noise complaint, etc.) and spot the money on the table. If you're really worried, just have chips on the table and keep all cash out of plain sight.  

  4. As far as I'm aware if your not making any money out of it you will be fine. No charging for drinks, food or anything else.
