Eight-liner crackdown targets illegal game rooms in Harris County
Harris County lawmen begin a May 30 crackdown on game rooms requiring permits and a 1000 dollar annual fee, banning entry by membership and limiting hours. New venues must stay 1500 feet from schools and churches, with fines up to 10000 dollars per day for violations. Despite legality of machines, operators often run illegal gambling, drawing crime and large cash flows, while patrons include women and seniors.
