Australian laws. Can't tip dealers at any casino. We think it looks bad. But then, our minimum wage is liveable, and all those dealers are making plenty without tips.
Elsewhere in Perth, there are two pub leagues:
APL and
WAPL. Full disclosure: I work for WAPL, but I've heard rumours of some very shady dealings at some APL venues ("take what you can grab" rake structure, new players being invited to home games and fleeced), and know that some things they do don't comply with WA gaming laws. I don't know anything about their tournament structures or cash tables. Their grand finals are worth playing if you can find them, but (despite any claims to the contrary made on their website) you don't actually have to qualify to play them. You can rock up on the day, join the league, and play.
WAPL run cash tables (5/5NL, $40-200 buyin, ~7% vig,
very loose) and Sit and Go tournaments at all of their pro league tournaments (numbers permitting), but you must play the main pro league tournament to play the cash table. The tournaments are fast enough to be near-crapshoots, and by the time a $10 grand final contribution and a $10 fee is taken out of your $40 buyin, they're not great value, but with $50,000 dead money in the prize pool, it's worth qualifying for the grand final.
