Police said Tuesday they raided a home where they said much more than strip poker was being played. Police said a man turned a poker game with neighborhood residents into his business, with thousands of dollars on the table, high-priced buy-ins, credit card machines and occasionally, nudity.

Don’t worry, he’ll get to play himself in the movie version.

This just begs for a script treatment.

He’s not bad-looking but we’ll need Charlize Theron to play the missus.

More accurately only the state is allowed to deal in sin. Not just lotteries and casinos but booze (certain states) and tobacco.

Then there are the licensed cathouses of Nevada...

After a long investigation, police said they figured out why the house was so popular:

"On occasion, she was also a dealer and she would deal topless, as well as basically serve liquor," said Middletown Police Chief Hank Tobin.

Slendid police work there, Chief Tobin!

What, the state wasn’t getting their cut? Hope she wasn’t the nudity, that could have caused the patrons to call the cops.

It could be worse. Would you play at a casino where this woman was dealing topless? I'll offer you odds that were better than the house vig.

Yep. The state of CO owns all the gambling. All those Lotto games plus Central City, Blackhawk and one other town are designated to have casinos. Just coincidentally those are the only places left in CO where you can smoke tobacco in a private business establishment. If you’re looking for vice the gooberment has it.

Based on those mug shots, something was involved.

Middletown, DE...and mother was a stripper....no surprise on that one!
"People would try to get out in the morning, get out of their driveway," said a neighbor. "They'd come home at night and they couldn't park on their own street. They'd have to park a block away."

Police said they have the list of all the people who played poker at the house. Some neighborhood residents were on the list...
You think the $$ saved on travel and gas is enough to bail 'em out? LOL

You can smoke all you want as long as you are losing your money to the state while playing craps.

If Joe’s Bar and Grill goes out of business when the state forces him to ban smokers, and he loses his life savings who gives a shit?

We had a popular Italian restaraunt that went smoke-free last year and in one month they were out of business. It seems all their clientele were smokers and went elsewhere.

Sometimes people prefer a non smoking restaurant. It should have been up to the private property owner.

That is exactly right. And the nico-nazis dutifully write and publish propaganda saying the bans haven’t hurt any businesses in spite of reports from liquor distributors that orders from those bars are way down. In spite of doors closing. Basically in spite of all objective evidence.

Back to the subject of the thread, gambling in your own home has to be banned.
