Video Poker 247 - Organizations Continue to Fight for Video Poker

Social, fraternal and veterans’ organizations that give money to charities do so because it increases and strengthens the community around them. They raise the money in many ways, but video poker is one of the biggest money makers for them. However, the Town’s Council seems determined to make life harder on these organizations that help out those in need.

At a local town councilor meeting, many of these groups were in attendance, as were those who will be affected by the change in video poker. They are aware that they will be losing out on money if the organizations are, so they were there to lend their support. They told the council that they need the money from the video poker games to continue the programs that they run through funding from the organizations.

The council had voted to deny the Wolves Club’s request for video poker machines, with the request losing by one vote. The clubs say that without the video poker funding they will have to cut back the amount that they give out right now, as they won’t be able to continue to give on such a large scale.

The organizations that receive the benefits of these video poker games pled with the council to change their mind – they say that with things going the way they have been it is going to be an even leaner winter and they could truly use the funds to help them out. No word yet on whether or not they will reconsider changing the veto on the video poker machines.
