Poker Clubs in BC?

whissteeze

Hi There,

Was wondering if there were any laws against poker clubs like they have in Montreal in BC? BC has such archaic laws that I wouldn't be surprised if it were outlawed. But if it's not I'd really love to get things rolling.

I'm running for council in Whistler and I think that it would be a great economy booster but am unsure of the legality.

Cheers!

Not sure if you're still checking this, but there seems to be some loopholes around it in Vancouver.

Check the Sunset Social Club located near the Corner of Hastings and Victoria in East Van. They are playing limit dealers choice games like 4 nights a week and it's apparently all completely above board thanks to their status as a members only club.

I don't know the specifics, but check it out, the guy who runs it plays in the 4/8 game at edgewater pretty regularly and seems happy to discuss it.

Hi what do you think about Hi-Low split
Small limit poker game dealers choice. So it's up to the dealer deal 7 Cards or 5 cards drow or Texas Holdem or Omaha :)
All the Casino plays only high hand poker and mostly Texas Holdem

Mr Socialable

No loophole here, It's call a good management.

Looks like no body at home at the site.
I haven't seen any new news.

You're thinking of a different place.

573 East Hastings is just east of Main and currently contains this: DTES NH -Providing Services to Residents of Vancouver

The Sun Set Recreational Sports Club, which happens to be located in the exact same place as the Sunset Social Club is located at 1985 East Hastings.

Your one sentence contributions to this dead thread over the course of a month have been amusing to me though.

Thanks for your info,but you have wrong information. Unfortunately they couldn't renew the lease because of city has bought the Carl's room and to use recreational space for woman's center.
Originally the club was build in 2003 May, The Society was sold on summer of 2008 and they have moved to 1985 E Hastings.
I was one of poker players ever since, I don't go to the new location.

So it used to be in one place and now it's in another place? So we're both right?

More specifically you were right once and I am right currently? If I have to I'll wander up there and shoot some pictures of the place. It's two blocks from my house.

Mr Socialable

Most likely we've have played poker longtime ago,
Now most of guys are going to Casino and play the Texas Holdem.
Too bad with poor management the Sunset is a dying club.
Take care.
