No money involved whatsoever. Nothing. Basically just a change from playing bridge or canasta or whatever, so the old folks could have some fun. He was in the process of trying to get some donated prizes.
It lasted two weeks before the RCL head office pressured the local branch to shut it down or they would be shut down. At least that's what they told him.
I'm pretty sure a Legion in Rural Manitoba runs a Hold'em night.
It's just getting going here in Red Deer and hope to have a big following since there is a lack of poker here (only one casino poker room)
Oh and to be clear, it's not only legion members that are playing. it's only the host location. Not to worry that its a bunch of senior citizens playing limp hold'em. All age ranges come by to play. I only recall a very small handful of actual legion members playing at the edm locations.
Anyhoo, sorry for the threadjack.
We have several locations running in Ontario...Legions only in Alberta though. BC is pretty much anywhere we want to set up. (pubs/restaurants/legions)
