Poker in the Courts

Today’s a big day for poker in Dallas County. Sorta. Some cases from JB’s/Goodfellows are at the Dallas County Courthouse right now. I don’t have many details — perhaps some of the defendants can fill us in as their cases get postponed/settled/dismissed (or otherwise adjudicated, of course).

Perspective forthcoming …

UPDATE: All cases against players dismissed. Charges against dealers and room operators put on deferred adjudication … meaning if they can stay clear of running a poker room for 90 days, all problems will go away.

    Scott, wasn’t sure if you were referring to the Dallas Poker Trials or the Neteller money issues. Similar, no?

    Seems the Courts and the Vice Squad are on different pages when it comes to the “people” saying they want illegal poker games stopped.
