Off Base?
I may be way off base here, but saying that the state allowed poker machines back just sounds wrong. I know that a lot of places are still running Cherry Masters, etc - and paying out on them (if not than no one would play them) but to the best of my knowledge this practice is highly illegal in MD. More power to you if you're running these games, but to me it seems like too much of a risk. I believe that those machines contributed to the downfall of Blue Jay, and VIP Billiards took them out around the same time period. If the state isn't getting a cut of the payouts then they won't allow it.
On the other hand, if there is a way to 100% legally operate poker machines, with payouts, and totally on the up and up, I'd love to hear about it. Until then, VIP won't run that risk.
A little action on a pool game however...
