Poker Rules and Terms:
Brick and Mortar |
This is a casino or cardroom where you play against players face to face, as opposed to playing online.
SoundPoker Says: The local casino, cardroom, or a players home are considered a brick
and mortar because they reside in actual physical buildings. They
differ from online poker because online poker does not have a physical
location one must travel to in order to play poker.
