According to the floor manager, each casino can ask for variants of existing rules from the casino commision or whoever governs them in the intern of establishing a new one. So apparently he needed an Atlantic City poker rule book. But another person argued that if there is no cap then he should be able to take whatever he wanted off.
It really did not matter since he had 3 times the amount we had and there was no buy-in cap. I had an interesting conversation with the shift manager regarding rules after one player was taking $100 stacks of reds to put on black or red on roulette near us. I played at the golden nugget over the weekend and it looks like it could be a good poker room provided they get a cage, shuffling machines and a way to remove the smoke smell from the close smoking area.
