Prosecutor and DPS clash over eight liner shutdown deadline
Las Vegas style video gambling machines in Ector County face a April 27 shutdown deadline set by District Attorney John Smith after court rulings. DPS officials, led by Capt. Larry Benningfield, oppose the 30 day window, warning the delay could imply tolerance for illegal gaming. Morales ruled the machines violate the constitution, allowing local authorities to pursue closures statewide. In Odessa about 15 arcades opened after the 1995 amendment, with eight liners accused of flouting the law.
