The bottom line is this industry requires deep pockets to survive ,poker rooms are a dime a dozen.I bought into a joint venture before for a 5% stake and because there was so many investors before long the guy who thought he was running the show found out all these little guys formed their own group and took it over.I cannot name the casino but right now an affiliate is SUING a VERY POPULAR casinos because he provided the front money and then his MINORITY partner locked him out.If the principles are so sure this will work they should go to their banks , put their homes up to get the cash .I bet they won't because they already know how risky the venture is .Besides I would have to keep my money to pay for NDN'S lawyer if he got into it ,don't think the laws would be on his side in this regard .
