"Black Thursday" in New York

Apparently there were two raids on some large poker clubs in New York last week. Phil Hellmuth pointed out that the reason there are so many people playing in illegal cardrooms in New York is because they want to play poker, and there are no legal places to play.

The authorities say that their main concern isn't that people are playing poker, but that criminals are profiting from their play in these underground cardrooms.

Seems like a simple enough solution. Legalize it and regulate it.

Worked with Prohibition.
