1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1bets against the house or non-banking bets Explanation: Margarita is right about "bets against the house", but in a regulatory context "apuestas cruzadas" are "non'banking bets". Nonbanking games are games where the players play only against each other instead of against the house. http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/issinfo/sshorse.htm Action Jack is played like blackjack but in a non-banking format. According to the materials submitted, the gaming operation generates revenue by charging the players an hourly rate, by collecting an ante per hand, or by collecting a percentage of each pot. Play begins with each player placing a bet. http://www.nigc.gov/nigc/documents/opinions/actionjack.jsp This is assuming that the regulations apply to casino-style games; bets of this type on horse-racing or other sports are "pari-mutuel bets".
