Haha, you still have your chance to go for it. The bill stipulates primary residence (page 2, line 4), so if you're visiting family or friends it is still a no-no.

I think I recall hearing about a location where home poker games were legal and it was ok to take a contribution for running them, but poker rooms were no legal (the distinction being the area where the game was held is considered a residence)...and some enterprising folks ended up just using houses and stuffing them with poker tables for their "home games" to get around the restriction. So perhaps avoiding that workaround was the motivation for the language.
