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.
