So, ever since I listened to a podcast that interviewed a poker room owner in Portland area (thinking poker podcast, episode 273) I cant get the idea out of my head that this could work here in Richmond! Expand this idea out to spread other games such as backgammon, chess, and live role playing games, and you could really have something! I have thought of some pretty good ways of making this work.
Only problem is: gambling is strictly controlled by the state of Virginia (NOT totally illegal, as we do have Rosie's, some poker machines, lottery and horse betting???). As of now, to host poker, it either has to be on a private residence not set up to be a regular gaming site, or a charitable organization. (So much for free market, amIright?)
If magically it was legal to have a gaming room, how would you think it would best be set up? Here are some points to consider:
-private club pay for entry, or more traditional casino/poker room
-paid dealer or self dealt
-strictly poker or would you open it up to other games
-alcohol policy....house rules policies
-CHIPS!
***Overall question: If you could design a for-profit gaming room where you would be a regular, what would be that ideal environment?
