wow will this go on thru the winter? a few more details e. g. entry fee would be appreciated

It's upstairs and there is a buy-in, however I do not recall the price. The group I played with was nice enough to give me some of their money and was all locals I believe.

Good times.....

Hello Boogzy, There is no entry fee to the hotel, however there is a starting amount of $30 for the game. And yes this will go on through the winter.

Of course........ No more bringing the kid or Mom though.

I advise caution as any form of gambling in Jamaica requires a gaming licence.
This is an illegal activity.

Interesting! I call.

Thats not enough to make me fold

See you all there.

Please remove this post.

Kingfish is watching.

If the house (hotel/bar) is not collecting any of the winnings through the buy-in there would be no need to obtain a license. It is just a group of people playing cards. The only way the house if profiting is through the sale of food and drinks in this case, which they would have been able to make regardless of a simple game of cards. No harm, no foul.

I will see you in a few weeks.

There is no law being broken, there is no house buy-in, so WisconsinWoody is correct.

And so you know, the Kingfish Squad ended about a year and a half ago...

The buy in price quoted was 30 dolllars.
This establishment are facilitating illegal gambling and could face a very stiff fine.
A gaming licence is required even for a raffle or bingo.
There are current licences being bided on.

Under this section of the act permission is granted by the Minister for a lottery to be held in order to raise funds for any religious, charitable or educational purposes or promotion of athletic sports or games or cultural activities.
All applications should be made to the Ministry of Justice.
The procedure to be followed when making application for Minister’s consent is set out below: -
 The attached application from must be completed in triplicate by three Individuals considered to be the organizers of the Raffle/Bingo.

 The application form when completed must be submitted with a Supporting letter from the host organization giving authority for the individuals to hold the lottery on its behalf.
 A letter of acceptance from the benefiting organization should also accompany the application.
 The application form is then forwarded to the Police for investigation and as to the reputation of the organizers and their trustworthiness to disburse public funds.
 Once the Police report is favourable, a decision is taken on the application.

we hope you are not serious, soon come

If this is true, just hang a sign saying "I intend to blah blah, rah rah." :rolleyes:

Who invited Debbie Downer to the party anyway?

Sheba,

This article is from almost two years ago and is about children playing the lottery. Lotteries make a profit, so therefore they should be held accountable for paying taxes. We are talking about a game of cards that, while yes there is a $30 buy-in, the house makes absolutely no profit from as it pays out 100%. Since there is no profit, there would be no receipt.

So to sum up your point. The Accountant General is to get 15% of the gross receipt. 15% of $0 is $0. Quit wasting our time please.

Heck my 3year old neice just learned how to say "all in"

i will be "all in" for a tourney or 2 in april....

I know for a fact that Seastar does not make a dime on this, besides of course the usual services that they already provide. I look forward to playing again on my next trip as like I said it was a great time and solid crowd.

What are the stakes? $1/$2 NL? $.50/$1? The Jamaican equivalent?

But will definitely plan on being there in February. And would love the idea of a Tournament, if that is an option as well.

I Debbie have no interest what so ever. I suggest the owners of the establishment check with the relevant authorities . Too make sure they are not breaking the law. I would not like to see anybody get a problem from this. There is already too much crime with illegal cash pot, lottery scams etc. Meanwhile the Jamaican government have three casino licences up for bidding The investments will be approximately US$2 billion each.This would be a wonderful investment for Jamaica and create many job opportunities, license fees, taxes, and would spin off to the rest of the economy by means of extra hotel rooms, extra transportation needs, and much foreign income. There is no need to jeopardise all this for the sake of a little illegal poker game and turning a respectable establishment into an illegal gambling den.

As in most countries Jamaica has it's laws. Please respect them.
Jamaica Land we love.

Greetings,

While the casinos in Jamaica don't specifically list as having poker rooms, it would stand to reason that poker games would be easy to find none the less. The legality of these games, if they do in fact exist, would be questionable, but poker games could surely be found.

Sheba,

What makes you think the owners of the establishment didnt check with the relevant authorities? The owners have had the property for years, and are fully aware of the laws of Jamaica.

So is smoking in public areas... Passing the speed limit on the roadways, and my personal favorite, robbing the tourists.

All that aside though, it sounds more like a place to play a game of cards is being facilitated, not a casino being opened. If I were there, I would go and take all of the players money.
