No, it is not illegal to run a home game. But what is illegal is taking a rake and charging for food or drinks. This is considered running a casino without a license. You can play poker for money you just can’t make a profit off of running the game.

It will be difficult for the state to win this in the court except if they have planted a apy in there as one of the poker players!. Anything can happen! Let's see how the case will go!

This is actually sad tbh. too many people around not actually in the game, its fine paying an agreed rake. Justice Department investigators accused Arenas’ co-defendants of collecting money off each prize pot, inviting people to play in the games, hiring young women to “serve drinks, provide massages and offer companionship” to the people playing the games and then collecting a portion of what the women earned from their work.... no need to have prostitutes bringing you drinks etc. what do you expect really!!! interesting to see how it rolls out, would be a pretty common thing im sure
