Is it illegal to host a poker tournament in a rented hotel convention room?
Q. I know the owner of the hotel and the manager of the diner/bar are on board to host the tournament. Their concern is the legal ramifications if it is found out to be illegal. Any loop holes? In Mississippi by the way.

A loop hole would be to make a portion of the buy-in go to charity and pay the winners off with prizes and not money, like a flat screen tv for example. Here are the gambling laws for your state.
