Video Poker 247 - Police Trying to Put End to Video Poker

The police in Burlington have started issuing summons’ for those involved in illegal video poker. Four convenience store owners have each been issued one once police discovered that they were in fact operating illegal video poker machines.

They had received complaints that the owners of the stores were operating video poker games illegally, and residents were urging them to shut them down. After a month long investigation, police were able to ascertain and confirm that they were running illegal video poker businesses.

Once they had confirmation, the police got search warrants and seized computers, monitors, card readers, and cash, and issued each of the business owners a summons regarding the illegal use of video poker machines. Jerry Boggs of West Webb Curb Market, Deepak Gurung of C.V. Mart, Gopal Parikh of Tommy’s Mini Mart and Ilesh Shah of I.H. Food Mart were all served.

In addition, Michael Todd Jordan of Ashland Drive in Burlington was also issued a summons as he was the one who provided the illegal video poker machines to the businesses. The police said that the raid “should serve as a warning” to anyone else considering running an illegal video poker business. They say that anyone else discovered doing so will be prosecuted as well.
