Video Poker 247 - Mail Carriers Have Video Poker Room

It seems that the mail carriers have been getting in on the video poker craze – even if it is illegal for them to do so. The police were curious as to why there were several mail trucks consistently parked outside of a Westmoreland County convenience store so they chose to investigate the establishment.

They found that they had four illegal video poker machines and $10,000 which they confiscated on Thursday. The C&T Mini Mart had bee under investigation for several months before they chose to move in on the group, and watched the mail carriers playing the video slots not just illegally, but also when they were on duty.

At the time of the raid two of the video poker players were mail carriers and two other players were not. The mailmen were even in their uniforms at the time of the raid. Even though the video poker games would not have been illegal because they spit out tickets and not cash, they were illegal because the tickets were then able to be cashed out.

The video poker machines were marked “For Amusement Only” but they were being used illegally because they were able to cash out the tickets there in the store. You had to be invited to play the video poker machines, and police said that there were two mail carrier names on the list of those approved to play the games.
