OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- An opinion from the state attorney general's office makes Texas Hold 'Em poker illegal in Oklahoma.

In an opinion released today, Senior Assistant Attorney General Neal Leader reiterated previous opinions that Oklahoma's gambling laws outlaw poker played for money or anything of value.

The opinion carries the force of law and will likely slow the growth of popular Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments that have become common in other states. Taverns, pubs and other commercial establishments across Oklahoma have been advertising and conducting the tournaments recently.

According to the opinion, those who sponsor the games are guilty of a felony and those who play are guilty of misdemeanors.

The only exception in the opinion is nonhouse-banked card games played in gaming casinos operated by federally recognized Indian tribes that enter into compacts called for in the State-Tribal Gaming Act.
