Gambling News by House of Odds

The suspected gambling operation was in a home near Centennial High School.
The arrests made Monday night were the result of a six-month investigation
into commercial gambling, police said. Players had to go online and register
and then receive an invitation to the game, police said. Participants also
had to put down $10,000 to get into the house where the poker game was being
played. Officers found a game in progress and some people were holding money
and some were holding poker chips when they entered the house, Roswell
police Sgt. B.C. Brackett said. Two women hired to serve drinks were among
those arrested. Officers began an investigation after neighbors in the quiet
neighborhood complained about traffic. More than 20 cars were impounded
after the raid. Officers found two guns and in one car found 200 pills of
suspected ecstasy. Most of the players will face misdemeanor charges.
