Hi All, This Great Country of ours was founded and is governed on Laws! When we want change to those laws we vote in or out the people who make those laws. That's called "Freedom of Choice"! A Business that is open to the "General Public" (Casino) cannot "discriminate" by race, gender, creed, marital status, etc., etc., etc......This is a Federal Law! The only way a casino can pick who (by name) plays in a tournament is if the tournament is advertised and operated "By Invitation Only-Closed To The General Public". If the tournament is advertised and operated "Open To The General Public" with a limit of 150 entries then the first 150 people in line have a right (by law) to a place in the tournament. Take a look at the Riviera's hologram program. Those in line get the holograms until they run out! Anything else would be a "discriminatory" practice! That means that dealers and their 12 "stooges" have just as much right to be in that line whether you or I like it or not! This is AMERICA. Love it, change it (by vote) or leave it!!!!!!.............Dick Maheu in New Mexico
