ny bill to legalize poker in bars introduced

New York state senator John Sabini (D) has introduced a bill to legalize poker in bars, restaurants and clubs in New York state!

Tournament admission could be no more than $50 per person. Players could only wager with chips, not money. Games can't last more than 24 hours, and only the best tournament player can win a cash prize - one not exceeding $100.

Time will tell if the bill passes, but I am sure that there are many more such bills that will be introduced in states as poker tournaments get more recognition as legitimate contests.
