Elderly Women Playing Illegal Slot Machines

It seems that once you hit old age they take everything away from you. You lose your hearing, your vision, your mind, and now your slot machines, or rather your illegal slot machines. Unfortunately that is exactly what happened to a bunch of little old ladies who were playing illegal slot machines at an illegal casino in Parkin in Cross County.

Police had received a tip that there was an illegal slot machine casino being run out of the Play Time Arcade and had started investigating the premises. They worked closely with two other law enforcement agencies in the state and sure enough they were able to bust a bunch of elderly women playing illegal slot machines.

They arrested more than two dozen people in the slot machine bust, but most of them were elderly women. The sting took place on Friday and police say that during the raid they found an undisclosed amount of cash as well as the illegal slot machines.

They closed down W. Parkin Street for almost two hours while they seized the illegal slot machines. They said that they had arrested those that were on the premises at the time of the raid, but that they were aware that there were more people who needed to be brought to justice before this investigation could be considered complete. Their mayor said that he was shocked that so many people were in there playing the illegal slot machines, but he felt that it was a combination of gambling addiction and the economy that lead these people to break the law.
