The rules should be the same as the casino. It should be fair and equitable and good for the little guy as the big guy. If that's not the case, you are stacking the chips against the small mom and pops rooms. You are making it hard for them to exist.
Tipping is a vital and integral part of all industries. Restaurants etc. It helps subsidize the salaries of most service workers. If you take that away, the business can't survive. Tipping should be allowed!!!!
My comment concerns concurrent tournaments. VDACS' prohibition harms players, dealers, and charities due to overreach and lack of statutory authorization. This arbitrary restriction on legal poker tournaments appears unreasonable without a strong regulatory need for ensuring charitable gaming integrity. Why do regulations prohibit concurrent tournaments when the Code allows it? A reasonable solution is to remove proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.
