Is poker a skill game like chess, or a chance game like blackjack and therefore illegal? In reality, it is both, but in New York it was ruled that it was a form of gambling like any other and therefore illegal. Fraid I can't find the evidence to back this up fully. But I remember reading all about it, specifically in relation to NYC, on Google Answers (now defunct service a bit like Y! A but you had to pay for it, and you got properly researched answers). You can search for it however, the answers are still archived looking for the best online casino gambling. Also look up the case of Gutshot club in UK - no relevance to NYC specifically, but it covers the same issues.Playing anything by wagering money or anything else is gambling. The question is what's legal and what's illegal gambling bodog no deposit free bonus flash slots codes casino forum. I believe gambling is only illegal if the host/house gets a cut from the wagered money in any way. Otherwise, I could sit here with a bunch of my friends and play cards for money all day long, and as long as the host/house don't get any cut from the money being tossed around, then there's no problem.

Of course, it's gambling!
Unless you give the losers back their money at the end of the game (yeah right), you're conducting an illegal gambling activity.

Currently, in Western societies, it has an economic definition, referring to "wagering money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods". Typically the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period of time.With this definition betting on the outcome of a checkers game is gambling.

In most states you can play for cash as long as you don't take a rake.
I know in New York they have been cracking down on underground poker rooms, so be sure to ask what the law is.
Poker has no house edge so if you are a better player you will get the money.
I don't see poker as gambling at all, it is a calculated risk.
Now as far as is it illegal to have a poker game for cash it all depends on what state you are in.
