I am in Ontario. We played weekly at the legion for almost a year, it was great we would go downstairs to the members area. Than we were told that we could no longer be able to play there because of the Ontario Lottery Gaming Commission regulates the gaming within this province, and unless the legion was to apply and recieve a license for gambling we would have to find somewhere else to go. * am I still bitter ...hell ya*
Anyway the license from my understanding isnt exactly cheap, plus they can deny you.
Just so you understand the legion was not taking anything from the pot, they were happy to have us there obv the bar sales. The OLGC does not care if there is a rake/fee taken or not. They are only concerned about the permit that sits on the wall.
So for the last 6 mths now I have 15+ people at my house every Monday night for cards
