Once again you are missing the point. Tax free or not you'll be treated BETTER at a casino (which they are everywhere in NOLA now) than you would at some back room game where the stakes will be no where near the amount you can play for at the big places.

They don't have to go to Vegas, casinos are everywhere in Louisiana and Mississippi. Do you know anything about NOLA other than what you read on Wiki? Some of us have actually put our feet down there more than once and know what we are talking about.
