Message: [QUOTE="TheKAAHK, post: 1463890, member: 50742"] True, I don't have to pay rent, nor am I trying to make any money. My games are strictly rake-free and all money goes back to the players. I cannot change venues though. I am tied to the my local Legion branch only. I can understand the complexities of running a for profit card room and I agree it's an ambitious undertaking. The advice I gave was strictly based on what I have done, just to help OP get the juices flowing. In no way was I comparing my small tourneys to operating a large cardroom. My guess is that it would cost roughly 15K for 15 quality (read: not cheap looking) tables, and at least, ah hell, that's ALOT of chips (guessing 20K or more for tourneys and cash for 115 player capacity) and I'd have no idea how much that would cost. Depends on style, quality and how customized they are. Add in incedentals (steady supply of decks, cashier supplies, drinks either alcoholc or otherwise, ect.), staff and other overhead costs I cannot even begin to speculate on and you have yourself one hell of a start-up bill. Though I'm sure if the player base is solid and your business model is sound (did you have a business consultant double check your model to verify it's feasable?) then I'm sure it's just a matter of time before your cardroom is a success. I hope it is. I have no idea whatsoever of the legalities of cardrooms and local gaming laws in OP's home country so I didn't make any suggestions or offer any advice on that subject. Nor do I deal in cash games. So I guess, yeah, like illphilllllll and Stu already said. It's probably best to hire someone who is in the industry and they can probably help you out better than any of us probably can. Good luck, and keep us posted on how if it's coming along if you can.
