Baldwin said four employees who were inside the business at the time of the raid were arrested. She added that investigators also cited an estimated 20 to 25 patrons who were allegedly gambling inside the location.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe seized all of the gaming devices, and any of the cash that was inside was also seized,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Baldwin warned that illegal game rooms continue to operate throughout the city and urged residents to understand the risks of participating in illegal gambling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will tell you that the game rooms are still illegal,\u201d Baldwin said. \u201cIf you\u2019re getting paid out cash, it\u2019s illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that payouts exceeding $20 are considered illegal under state law and could result in citations for patrons.<\/p>\n
Baldwin said CCPD encourages residents to seek out legal forms of gambling and avoid illegal operations.<\/p>\n
