Corned in P.A
Since this is the ask Dave section I'm sure I'll come up with a question.
Last Friday, a $50.00 n/l tourney w/ re-buys and an add-on was played in PA. The tourney was advertised throughout the North like wildfire. I heard about it that morning, so decided to go for a drive. The Casino was not affiliated with this tourney what so ever. Anywho, there were 146 entries = $7, 300.00
301 rebuys =$15,100.00
98 add-ons= $4,900.00
$27, 300.00
The advertisement guaranteed $12,000 total payout, based on 240 entries. The end result, total prize pay-out $8400.00, with 1st getting $3300.00. $19,000 vanished into thin air. The organizers pocketed all add-on and rebuy $ but had the heart to throw in $1100.00 of their rake into the prize pool. Needless to say, a riot damn near broke out. It could have been a good thing, rake 10% and have it monthly, instead of having it once and taking it all. Plain and simple, it was theft. Don't you think?

Authors note: Im an Indian, I can say this stuff.
Solution... don't play in stuff organized by these guys again.
I am not quite sure I agree with you, here. It is certainly open to debate that first nations can operate some gaming on first nations land. But, it would still require some sort of regulation or it could be subject to criminal liability (I think). This does not appear to have been regulated.
