yeffy 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 oh and is everything shut on the 4th July?will there be cool stuff going on in AC that day?It is all 21 and if you do try to sneak in...you also need to be able to cash out where you can have even more trouble.And the 4th of July will see AC packed to the gills with the roofs about to fly off....insane action.

Sushiman 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 ALL the places in AC are 21 to gamble, but quite frankly if you do not look extremely young they are not keen on checking. However, 4th of july weekend might be a problem since its a holiday and they anticipate lots of kids having off from school and trying to gamble illegally. AC is most certainly not closed 4th of July there will tons of activity. FYI, if you plan on playing poker lots of the old guys are dicks and will request an age check on any young looking player who takes a big pot off them. I see this almost everytime I go so beware.

BIGSLICKSTER 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 foxwoods is 21 but if you look older I think you would have no problem getting in ... go in separatly .. if you go in in a group and just one of you look younger they will ID all of you. Also dont try to buy liquor the waitress's will card you even if you are already in the door. They are big on carding for liquor. But very lax on carding for gaming. I got in when I was underage. There is a signup board. As for Niagra falls I hear if you go on the Canadian line its only 19 to gamble. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I got some clubs in NYC i could check out...Casino Niagra i could do... anyone been?I think i may spend the fourth in D.C... or would New York be better? Link to post Share on other sites
jsull 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 You can be 18 and gamble at the turning stone in Upstate NYhttp://www.turning-stone.com Link to post Share on other sites
doudave 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 everywhere i know is 21 except turning stone in upstate N.Y. which is 18. i was just in foxwoods last weekend and they came around and checked the I.D. of a young looking guy sitting on my table.. its tough to really get a game maybe you can play a couple of hands but they will ask you for your I.D....pretty sure its easier to sneak in taj mahal then foxwoods.

crocd99 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 28th June - 9th July.Gonna go to Boston/NYC/D.C/Virgina Beach/Niagra Falls i think.A.C. is definately 21. you could sneak in but it probably isnt worth the hassle. if you do come to virginia beach pm me. i leave in the area and there are a ton of games around here, everynight of the week... if you want to play while you are down there pm me. this games are good and they are fairly easy with only a few good players and a lot of action Link to post Share on other sites
Scanner313 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Someone can confirm this, but I'm 99% sure all of AC is 21.All casinos in AC you MUST be 21 or else don't get caught. FoxWood's and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut also require you to be 21.I've been to casino Niagra once, but I don't recall if you need to be 18 or 21 there. But that's probably your best shot because you won't be gambling anywhere in CT or NJ unless you're 21. Link to post Share on other sites
NJPoker 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Coming from a NJ native; it probably isn't worth the gamble to try to play in AC if you are under 21. I've never been carded at the tables or cashing out, but if you are walking around in the casino and you don't look 25 they will stop you and ask for your ID. It use to happen to us all the time in college, sometimes more that once time a night. As far as where to spend the 4th of July, AC is fine, NYC is really cool but very croweded, and DC has pretty good fireworks and tons of places to go. Link to post Share on other sites

kindofblu 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Well they blew up the chicken man in philly last night and they blew up his house too.Don't know what it means....that's Springsteen 8)I just googled it and this what I found...The first line, "They blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night," was taken from a newspaper article about a mob hit in Atlantic City. The "Chicken Man" was Phil Testa, number two man in the Philadelphia Mob under Angelo Bruno. After Bruno was murdered in his car, Testa was blown up by a bomb placed under his front porch. These hits were orchestrated by Nicky Scarfo, who took over the Philly boys so he could control the new Atlantic City gambling rackets. He made such a mess of things that he and most of his crew were either murdered or incarcerated within a few years. Link to post Share on other sites
