Video Poker 247 - Numerous Law Officials Involved in Video Poker Ring

The federal government has cracked down on illegal video poker gambling in Western North Carolina, and in doing so they have come across a myriad of law enforcement officials who are involved in illegal video poker. They have made more than 30 arrests already, and they say that before they are done there will still be more to come.

They have released a statement that vaguely alleges that there are numerous law enforcement officials from various surrounding counties that were involved in the illegal video poker ring as well. They say that they have a lot of evidence that points to more people being involved.

However, they have so far declined to bring illegal video poker charges against a Henderson County restaurant owner involved in the scheme. Agents had seized more than $1.8 million from Demetre Theodossis’ home alone. They also took video poker machines and business records from his place of business, the Hot Dog King restaurants. They say that they will not be releasing any further information regarding the video poker ring, only that which will be released in court documents.

There are numerous other indictments that have already come through for other law enforcement personnel, and there will be more to come. Twenty people charged with illegal video poker have already pled guilty to the charges against them, and police decline to say where the investigation will be going from here.
