so then holding playing cards in your hand would be illegal?

Be careful =)
Last summer a private game of poker in an apartment was being played by foreigners and was raided by the police. The participants were arrested for illegal gambling. I think the buy-in was about 100k or something. Not big money. Anyway a bunch of people at the game got deported. Watch your back =) |

| How strictly are the anti-gambling laws enforced? If you're playing in a 10,000 won buy in where it's more about drinking beer and playing cards, are they going to care? I assume the laws forbid gambling and not card playing, so if you're not playing for real money, that's gotta be okay, right? |

How about we pretend you never mentioned it, Mr.James and your husband Mr. Jugband, OK?
(Seriously.. there have been a billion games over the years and only one got busted last year. Just keep it quiet and don't put up posters advertising the game in your local police station.) |
