New York City, evidently located in the state of New York, is one of the biggest commercial centers in the United States – and even the world.

In a vibrant environment like that, the gambling industry must be booming, right? Sadly, the answer to that is: not particularly. Section 225 of the New York State Penal Law, among others, prohibits owning gambling apparatus or keeping gambling records – in short, it makes running a gambling business illegal.

Additional legislation later legalized and regulated the state lottery and horse race betting. Unfortunately, poker – along with other popular games of chance – has been left out. Most casinos operating within New York State are allowed to do so because of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act passed in 1988. That federal law allows Native American tribes to decide whether or not they allow casinos to run on their reservations.

A 2013 amendment allowed for 7 non-tribal casinos to gain licences in the state. Out of those 7, 4 have opened already.

New York City is the setting for one of the most famous pieces of poker fiction. The 1998 movie Rounders tells the story of a poker prodigy Mike McDermott, played by Matt Damon, fighting his way through the underground NYC card room scene. This film was directed by John Dahl, but the idea was conceived by the pair of screenwriters, David Levien and Brian Koppelman. While it never became a blockbuster success, it is cherished by many in the poker community.

We’ve covered most of this topic in our intro: Article 225 of the state’s Penal Code covers gambling offenses, which make games of chance illegal. Lottery, horse race betting. and casinos on Native American reservations later became an exception, then 7 non-tribal casinos as well thanks to a 2013 amendment to the law.

Here’s a few additions to that. The New York State Gaming Commission oversees all legal forms of gambling in the state. Also, so-called “social gambling” is accepted – while reading some parts of the gambling laws may suggest otherwise, you can’t get in legal trouble in New York if you choose to host a private game with your friends.

If you’re in New York City, you can’t go to a casino on Indian territory – however, you can still find operating card rooms that offer poker there. They’re taking advantage of the state’s “social gambling” exceptions.

Services like Poker Night Out NYC in Manhattan can refer you to the hosts of these games. They can’t collect rake legally, so they have to find another way to make a profit. It’s not clear from their website, but it’s likely either entrance, time fees or mandatory minimum food/drink purchases.

Once you’re "verified" Poker, you can play $1/$3, $2/$5, $5/$5, $5/$10 No Limit Hold’em, or $2/$2, $5/5, and $5/$10 Pot Limit Omaha cash games.

These are all "RAKE-FREE" games.
