Gambling Raids Bust Four Austin Businesses
Austin Police mounted a series of raids against illegal gambling operations.
Police say officers busted four game rooms with illegal 8-liner machines.
8-liners are video game machines, similar to a slot machine. Officers
confiscated nearly 150 machines during Friday night's bust. Since June of
last year, area law enforcement officers have seized an estimated 2-thousand
machines as part of an effort to stop illegal gambling in Central Texas.
Police say the illegal businesses attract a lot of crime. "We have targeted
these places because they've been hot spots for robbers to go and rob and
get some quick money," said Austin Police Commander Duane McNeill.
