    Wanting to Start a Card Room. How much would it cost
    Hypothetically speaking...

    Ive always said These poker card rooms are basically a license to print money. what overhead do they actually have and what is the start up costs?

    over here in Sacramento, ca. Most tables have a $4 drop per hand and average 20 hands a hour if not a little bit more. I'd say a good average is 4 tables going for the entire 24 hour period. Peak hours have about 10 tables but from about 4 am to 10 am prob only 2 tables are going(full tables).

    This comes out to. $230k a month just in rake. This is not including food and alcohol sales.

    How much is rent on a 3-4,000 square foot card room? How much would your insurance be? Your gambling and alcohol licenses and insurance per month?

    Are your expenses really that high?
    As far as the employees go the dealers make $8 a hour so.

    I know im probably missing a lot but cant see how expenses can be more than about 75k a month on a poker room and just with a 4 table average 24 hours a day your pulling in 230k just in rake.

        Well in CA, card rooms seem to be legal because there everywhere. and yes there legal there not underground or anything. There also in the city so its not like its indian ground either. There's about 6 indian casinos within a 50 mile radius of Sacramento. But im talking about card rooms and there are 5 in Sacramento.

            If gambling is legal thats one thing, if its not, then they are paying people off. I havent heard that gambling is legal in Sac & you dont have a feather in your hair so its not legal. Would cost way too much to do it out in the open & theres still no guarantees.

            Just run some parlay cards for football season to make some money. zero fukin overhead & not time consuming

                  Well the card rooms are actually legal laws are different in different states. I mean in CA and New Mexico there are casinos everywhere. The owners may be Indian but since all the employees and managers are Asian its highly doubtful.

                    No need to run it illegally if you can legitimately open a business out here.

                                          Well like i was telling Profit. Im wondering if its legal for any race to own a card room. As you can see all the managers dealers and people seem to be asain. Like at casino royale i know one of the managers very well. I think he's actually the owner because all the security guards and other managers kiss his ass calling him Mr when he walks in. And like i said hes ASAIN, not INDIAN.
