New Hampshire House members may actually make their casino players considerably happier if the new compromise poker tax is passed. The House Bill is proposing to increase the maximum bets made at the state’s casinos from $2 to $5, considerably lower than what the initial levy proposed. The bill has already passed the Senate and is now in the House for consideration.
The bill proposes a tax on daily poker rooms in the state of 3% on what is collected from the players in rakes and other fees. The initial bill was 10% and had it been passed, many of the poker rooms would’ve permanently closed their doors due to the recession in progress in the country. The compromise tax is designed to help pay for the tax without hurting the casinos too much. It is also going to help the states Pari-Mutuel Commission oversee the fairness of all of the card games that are being planned.
Currently, charitable organizations will still receive the 35 percent net profit that they earn on poker games. “Charitable gaming has become big business in New Hampshire,” state Senator D’Allesandro said. “Some people put it at $75 million to $100 million. We certainly want charitable gaming to prosper, but we need oversight. This bill puts in a number of employees to do the auditing.”
The tax structure, if the bill is approved, will be similar to that used for the state’s Bingo and Lucky 7 games. There is a clause in the bill that allows higher bets and many of the casinos general managers are all too happy to accept it and that the charitable cuts will remain the same. Prize payouts on all the poker games will still remain at the current 80%.
The state’s racetrack hosts the largest poker room in the state and charges $2,000 a day to the poker company that puts on the games. The track is not receiving any money in profits for it, but they do benefit from the hundreds of people that come to the racetrack everyday that would not normally attend. By hosting the games, the racetracks may just be able to help build an acceptance of expanded gambling in the state.

Unless you follow poker news or play online poker, you may not realize that the World Series of Poker is getting set to begin at the Rio in Las Vegas. The biggest poker event of the year is almost here. However, the general advertising for this major poker championship has only just begun. Poker players from around the world are gearing up for the event that will begin in two weeks’ time, sharpening their skills, and preparing their poker face.
Players from all over the world will converge on the Rio to play the many Texas Hold’Em events that will determine the nine players who will sit down at the final table in November. They will have won their spots in the events by playing qualifying tournaments both at real live events and online events. Other players will be at the event to play other poker variations, such as Omaha and Stud games. Anyone going to the WSOP hopes to leave with one of the championship bracelets and their names on the winners’ list.
To many poker players, the WSOP is a chance to buy into a championship game for a small amount. Many people qualify for the satellite games based on a small wager during the qualifiers that is a fraction of what the total buy-in could be. Some of the players also win sponsorships from the many different online poker rooms and actually get their buy-in money from the poker room themselves. Las Vegas was built on the hope that everyone who plays there – whether from China, England, Belgium or the United States – leaves the city with more than they arrived with.
Poker players have been preparing for the event for months, taking poker classes that help them work on their game, including strategies, bluffing, and other poker related issues. Whether they have been playing extra games at their local casinos or have joined online poker rooms to practice, players are hoping to be well prepared to face professional players such as Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson, and Phil Ivey. Players will need to be more prepared than ever as the competition continues to become tougher and tougher.
Even with the American economic slump affecting the world, casinos are still being built in the United States and proving to be successful. The popularity of poker – especially Texas Hold’Em – has helped the casinos grow. The WSOP is the best chance for a player to test their skills and is still the premier championship game on an international level.
If you have won a seat at the WSOP, we wish you the best of luck. Make sure you are prepared for the competition that awaits you and enjoy yourself while you are there, win or lose.
