Pub Poker Being Threatened By Skycity...

[bennymacca]

are you sure you are allowed to charge a cash buy in for bingo? bingo is purely a game of chance isn't it?

games like 8 ball which are undoubtedly games of skill are allowed to charge entry fees.

poker is still a game of skill, but there are short term elements of chance which is why it is often referred to as gambling when it really isn't.

Yes benny the cunt you are required to buy your book to play bingo and the beneficary either its the venue or an organization take a rake from money collected from book sales something like 15% and 85% go's back in cash prizes.

So bingo is a game of chance.

You musyt admit some poker players play poker like bingo any 5 numbers will do.

thats very interesting gundog

so whats the difference between poker and bingo then? i fail to see any at all

[krunchie]

verry good point gundog

back in the day, i used to be involved in Apex, and we used to run the local Bingo night.

Gundog is indeed correct you do charge players for the book and take a part of that and the rest goes in prizes.

And this was 10 years ago

Sounds just like old people to me....

"I don't understand it so it must be bad and I don't want anything to do with it."


The AHA need their heads read. I for one wouldn't have bothered setting foot in most pubs if it weren't for the attraction of NPL.

ESPECIALLY as there was still smoking in pubs at that time (stinky filth merchants).

Both the AHA and the casino should say "Thank you NPL for considerably growing our customer base, we love your work and look forward to working with you over the coming years".

But for that to happen they would have to stop being narrow minded and selfish, not to mention ignorant.
