Video Poker 247 - Illegal Video Poker Machines Seized

Five people will undoubtedly be charged this week with the illegal operation and ownership of video poker machines in Dunn. Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins said that they seized 13 illegal video poker machines in a raid on three different locations on Tuesday. It is not currently known who exactly owns the video poker machines, but they do know who was operating them.

They had been receiving complaints from neighbors about the video poker machines, and when they went looking for them they found them in three different homes around the area. In addition to the video poker machines, they also took around $400 in cash from the machines.

It is considered a misdemeanor violation to possess a video poker machine and once they know who owned them they will be charged. Last year the General Assembly adopted a law that made the owning of video poker machines illegal, but it just went into effect this past July.

If it is found that more than five machines were at any one location, or if the owner of the video poker machines has been in trouble for this particular violation before, they will be classified as a repeat offender and felony charges could be filed.
