State Warns Of Illegal Poker Tournaments

Oct 21 2004, 10:49am

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Celebrity poker matches are popular on TV, and it seems like games of chance are everywhere. But the Ohio attorney general said residents should be careful before putting their money down, NBC 4's John Ivanic reported.

Attorney General Jim Petro said some groups are going too far and stepping over the line of what is considered legal gambling.

Petro's office has fielded an increasing number of calls from across the state regarding poker games and other casino nights.

Sep 14 2004, 09:33am

HARRISBURG - It doesn't take an act of Congress to get a friendly card game together, but it can take a City Council meeting. That was the case in Harrisburg two weeks ago, when the owners of the Ron-D-Voo Tavern went before the council to get a license to hold a poker tournament.

A city ordinance there prohibits gambling, except for the state lottery. But it makes exceptions for events such as church bingo and "social games," where there is no house player and no income from the operation of the game.
