After‑Hours Game
An after-hours game is a private game played in a casino or card room after it has closed for the night.
The simple explanation
An after-hours game is a private game played in a casino or card room after it has closed for the night. A group of players stays on and continues, outside the room's normal public games. It is separate from the regular schedule.
A closer look
The key feature is that the game happens when the room is closed. Stakes, game type and who plays are not part of the definition. After-hours games may be informal and are not covered by the room's usual rules and protections, which is a reason for caution. Legal rules about such games vary by place.
A practical example
A card room closes at midnight. A group of players stays on and continues a private game. That is an after-hours game.
