Former video poker operator recalls turning away from machines
Boyd describes his three month stint running two poker rooms in a hardware store. He recounts a child in a sweltering car and a mother feeding money to machines, then a distressed couple near foreclosure. He quits after a confrontation and a $6,000 stake, $3,000 his. Representative Roland Smith hails video poker’s shutdown as improving life in Aiken County and South Carolina.
