poker in pennsylvania
Is playing poker in the state of pennsylvania Illegal?

Specifically, the games are held at a fire department (not by the fire department but by the Deputy Chief) and it is $20 per player. $5 from each entry fee goes to a big jackpot at the end of the tournament, the rest of the entry fee goes to the top 3 players at the end of that game that night. I have been told by them that is not illegal… but isn’t gambling illegal in Pennsylvania?

There are approx 22 players in one game.

as long as the person holding the event is not taking any of the winnings as a fee….

ie you hold a game of 5 ppl with a $20 buy in… and you take 20 dollars just because you are hosting if you win or loose.
