borinka99 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Does anyone remember, or have a link to a site that shows when poker was legalized in California? I think it was in the 80s, but I'm not sure. I remember reading about it on a few sites before, but I can't find any via google now. I need this info for a paper I'm writing.

ajs510 122 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 that cant be right. it was in the late 30's early 40's i believeThe California State Supreme Court ruled that poker was a skill game, not a form of gambling, in 1987.If you need a source to cite, you can use Aces and Kings by Michael Kaplan, it's spelled out exactly like that in the Barry Greenstein chapter of that book.
