    In theory yes, but my local Casino would take a different view after the amount I left on the Blackjack Table lastnight, and last Sunday, and last Saturday :pac:

    Why don't you guys just put up a few posters around campus advertising - 'twould probably garner more interest.

    I know the auditor, the buy ins are usually between 10 and 20 with most/all the money going towards prizes.

    There are tournaments every week or two, the soc was massive a couple of years ago but seems to have gotten a little smaller since. There are still loads of people at games though, which makes the prizes pretty sweet.

    Download a poker client such as "fulltiltpoker" or "PokerStars" and play in their free-money games.
