While some were against it, arguing that it went against lawmakers\u2019 initial goals for such facilities, others were in favor, admitting the aim for cardrooms to compete in the market.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A History of Wager Limit Increases<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The wager limit was first established at $25 when house-banked cardrooms became authorized in 1997. It has had multiple rises over time, the most recent of which brought it to $300 in 2009. 31 days after the new regulation is submitted to the code revisionist, the $400 limit will become effective.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to pushing for the increase in the wager limit, Maverick Gaming previously tried to expand its company by bringing sports betting to cardrooms. Sports betting, however, is only permitted in tribal casinos. Maverick Gaming is now contesting the state\u2019s sports betting agreements with the tribes in federal court as a consequence.<\/p>\n<p>The All-Star Lanes &#038; Casino in Silverdale is Maverick Gaming\u2019s newest addition to its network of 23 cardrooms operating in Washington. Table games, poker, bowling lanes, an arcade, a restaurant, drive-thru espresso, and full-service dining are just a few of the entertainment options available at the location.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/washington-state-cardrooms-secure-victory-as-wager-limit-gets-a-boost\/\">Washington State Cardrooms Secure Victory as Wager Limit Gets a Boost<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the Gambling Commission decided 3-2 to increase the wager limit to $400, cardroom operators in Washington State won a big win.
