Shitty Law
The state of Montana has a law that states that no poker game can have any pots exceeding $300. Yet allows gaming machines to give out jackpots of up to $800. Since when should someone put a limit on how much someone could win? I've read that when some have question why these laws are in place it's to protect players from gambling too much? But I do not see how capping the amount that someone could win would ever protect them against gambling more than they can afford to and also how the state thinks that they would know how to regulate something like that.

However there are many spread limit games, one of the most common limits you'll find throughout the state is 2-6 spread limit many times accompanied with overs buttons. Overs buttons allow players that each have an overs button to increase the limit of the game when it is only the players with the overs buttons in the pot.
