Live Poker in New York

Around 2005, many of the popular rooms were raided and shut down.  Now many people are wondering if there are any live poker options for New York City.

New York City Laws Pertaining to Gambling

The New York State Constitution states the following in Article 1, Section 9:

[N]o lottery or the sale of lottery tickets, pool-selling, book-making or any other kind of gambling [except state-run lotteries and state-sponsored pari-mutuel betting on horse races] shall hereafter be authorized or allowed within this state; and the legislature shall pass appropriate laws to prevent offenses against any of the provisions of this section.

Poker in New York City

Of course, many people state that play poker and you live in New York City, the best "legal" way to go about it is to take a ride over to Foxwoods in Connecticut or to Atlantic City.  Otherwise, you are taking a risk with both your money and potentially you life.
