Nyc Underground Poker Rooms
A cardroom or card room is a gaming establishment that exclusively offers card games for play by the public. The term poker room is used to describe a dedicated room in casinos that is dedicated to playing poker and in function is similar to a card room.

New York poker room madam, alleged drug trafficker freed on bail. New York underground poker game before her reign came to an end recently. For those reasons, and many others, underground poker rooms have become big business across America. Every day, millions of players compete in thousands of unregulated games all over the country, from privately owned “mini-casinos” to the kitchen table. 6, 2007 — - The killing of a former professor in a private New York City poker room last week has stunned the underground gaming world and frightened some players and operators of poker clubs, which can be attractive robbery targets, according to current and former players and law enforcement experts.
Such rooms typically do not offer slot machines or video poker, or other table games such as craps or roulette as found in casinos. However, a casino will often use the term 'cardroom' or 'poker room' (usually the latter) to refer to a separate room that offers card games where players typically compete against each other, instead of against 'the house'.
Overview[edit]
In the United States, stand-alone cardrooms are typically the result of local or state laws and regulations, which often prohibit full-fledged casino gambling. This was typically the case in California until the advent of casino gambling offered by Native American tribes in the 1990s, though card rooms continue to flourish and even expand there.
Since games played in card rooms are usually player-against-player instead of player-against-house, card room operators typically derive their revenues in one of two ways. In most, the dealer of each game (employed by the establishment) will collect a rake, a portion of the pot from each hand. At other times, a charge will be levied against each player for a specific time period, typically each half-hour.
Though traditional poker variants such as Texas hold 'em, Omaha hold 'em and seven-card stud are by far the most popular games offered by card rooms (and sometimes the only games), others may offer games such as panguingue, pai gow, Chinese poker, and variations on blackjack.[1] These so-called 'California games', or 'Asian games', may resemble such traditional casino games as blackjack, baccarat and even craps, but have rules that comply with various state restrictions.

Most U.S. stand-alone card rooms are located in Montana, with more than two hundred such clubs licensed in 2013, and over four hundred licensed nationally.[2]California has the second most such clubs, with 88 such clubs as of 2013.[3] California card rooms like the California Grand Casino date back to the 1850s. Some are modest establishments with just a few tables, while others are the largest poker rooms in the world, offering as much as five times as many tables as the largest Las Vegas cardroom. Some even call themselves 'casinos', even though their lack of electronic and table games would normally disqualify the use of such a term by modern standards. Hollywood Park Casino, a casino located near and formerly part of Hollywood Park Racetrack, a former Thoroughbredrace track in Inglewood, California, has an elaborate card room on its premises. Other large cardrooms are Bay 101 and Casino M8trix in San Jose, the Commerce Casino in Commerce and the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens. All these clubs host major poker tournaments, which attract the game's top players and television coverage.[4]
Poker rooms are sometimes operated illegally. New York City has been home to underground card rooms, some of which were the basis of the movie Rounders. Two rooms with more than ten tables—the 14th Street PlayStation and the 72nd Street Players Club—were closed down by the police in 2005, but other smaller clubs continue to exist.[5]
Websites offering online poker games are referred to as 'online cardrooms' rather than casinos.

Frank DeSena, who is 55, was one among roughly 90 players at the new Straddle underground club that is in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, which is only a few blocks away from the Empire State building. The club has only been open for about two weeks, which replaced a former Straddle club that was raided by police in August, when four robbers came into the building around 11:20 Friday night. They got into the building by putting a gun to a downstairs bouncer’s head to get to the seventh-floor game in the Fifth Avenue building that has a mix of business and private apartments.
When they got into the game, they began stripping the game of its cash, with the three robbers referring to each other as “Oneâ€, “Twoâ€, and “Three†and they also watched the players so that they didn’t try anything. The fourth robber started to beat the cashier because the cashier had knowledge of where a larger sum of cash was held, while the other robbers watched the patrons or players. DeSena, who is a well-liked player often referred to as “Yankee Frank,†was shot when one of the robbers accidentally dropped a sawed-off shotgun, then when he was trying to pick up the shotgun, a handgun accidentally discharged and hit DeSena.

DeSena, who was a former employee of AT&T and as a math teacher at the Hoboken, New Jersey Stevens Institute of Technology, was hit in the torso by the bullet. He died 40 minutes later at Manhattan’s St. Vincent Hospital. He is survived by his wife, who is 52-year-old, and his daughter, who is 16-years-old.
After the robbery and shooting, the robber’s fled the scene with an as-yet-undetermined amount of cash. The early reports said that they got away with only a few thousand dollars but later on the news was reported that they could have gotten away with as much as $100,000. There was one report that another player has said that as much as $250,000 could be found at one time on the premises.

The police are continuing to interview witnesses and sort through evidence, including examining the security tapes from the night of the robbery and earlier games that were held at the club. The police believe that one or more of the robbers more than likely played at the club during the two weeks that they were open at this new location. The police also believe that inside knowledge of the game’s workings is a possibility because the gunmen reportedly fled through a seldom used back entrance after the shooting. Shootings at underground poker clubs are not uncommon only because these games are somewhat illegal.
