Here in Oregon local municipalities can override state laws.
Oregon law only allows games in private residences and fraternal organizations.
No business's whether opened or closed.
One local city has passes an ordinance that allows games in business's with the
following general rules.
- City license of $50 per year required
- Game has to be open to the public for viewing (no closed doors)
- From 10am to 2 am only
- No changes in pricing for players or other patrons as far as drinks or food
- No house take or rake
- Tournament stlye only
- Capped buy in (think it was $100) re buys do not count as buy in
It's a fun game playing in front of bar patrons who have seen the WSOP or WPT but
don't really play. Lots of buzz.
Actually playing today in a 32 person game.
Got an extra seat or two if someone is close
