Poker games at strip clubs.

I just recently became aware that they existed.

interstatepokerclub.com

I don't know how legal this is but it's the last place I would want to go to play poker.

Do you know of any clubs where they take place?

There is something called Free Poker Network which has free poker tournaments in local bars (you are expected to spend on food and drinks, which is why it's free). No cash payout but the points leader might get a free entry to a local casino tournament at the end of a 3 month season. 10+ years ago one of the venues was a strip club. The game was in a separate room so you didn't see much except on breaks or going to get a beer. The thing is, with no cash at risk, play is more lottery than poker.

Money games can be played legally in all 50 states AS LONG AS THE HOUSE DOES NOT HAVE A TAKE, A COVER, OR A PAY IN FEE (buy-in)

There should be a law that, if you play poker in a strip club, it has to be strip poker.

I'm in Floriduh next week I will play a lot of poker and strip club a lot. Not at the same venue. Figure 5 hours strip clubbing in Pompano, then a corned beef sandwich and the 6:00 p.m. tournament at Coco poker; not every day though. Fuck, I just lied.

  • in theory you are correct, but go try and do this at a local establishment (restaurant, bar) advertise it, and I’m betting local authorities are going to show up. In some areas of the county bars are not allowed to have any game of “chance,” where technically even a Super Bowl squares board is illegal, although in most cases stopping it is not enforced.

====== Gambling inside a strip club: For a short period of time this happened at the Flight Club in Detroit. They found a legal loophole in the law and interpreted it to their advantage around 10 years ago. I think it lasted 2 or 3 months before it got shut down? Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I was there once when it was active. I can’t remember if they had already stopped the poker or never got it running in the first place. It wasn’t available the night I was there, but other table games were going on, in a section on the second floor.

As for the free poker tour, I remember seeing where if you got enough points you may get a chance to go to the World Series of poker. IMO I’ve seen these come through town before a lot of times to bars that were owned by degenerate gamblers. I often thought this was just a way for bar owners to find dumb customers that show up to these free tournaments and get them into their own private games long after the free poker network has rolled out of town.

I remember a strip club in California and another in Montana that would host poker games. I believe both are closed down now. It seems like all those saloons in the Western movies would have poker downstairs and hookers upstairs.

Has anybody opened a combo strip club gun range? PLs feel emasculated because hot women won't let them feel them up for free. So clubs provide performative macho activities for compensation. Like cigar rooms, MMA viewings.

When @rickthelion has the money, he's going to open a strip club with a large carnivore roleplay room.
