Dallas Police raids aren’t stopping underground poker
Gee, no kidding?
Ah, poker raids. They come blowin' in like the summer wind. Even if it's winter. CBS11 says these raids aren't really doing much to stop underground poker.
Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price tells CBS11 he's OK with illegal poker and would like to see legalized gambling in Dallas. "'Might as well keep the tax base home. They're gonna drive to Winnstar, Oklahoma, Shreveport..."
"Unfortunately, I don't believe I have the man power to stop all poker in the City of Dallas," Deputy Chief of Dallas Police Julian Bernal tells CBS 11. Gee, no kidding? Don't tell that to folks like this Dallas company, which just came out with the Ultimate Dealer Button portable poker manager.
"Even the professional poker player often scrambles to find a way to keep track of the round time and what the small/big blinds and antes are, plus aren't you tired of NOT know when the SWAT team pulls into the driveway?" ask the folks who make the Ultimate Dealer Button. Well, they don't ask that last part. The button makers should add a special cop sensor to their device to make it truly "ultimate." Otherwise it's just "satisfactory" or "less of a hassle than calling your wife to get you out of jail."
