Denver authorities recently raided numerous illegal casino facilities, with over 30 people being charged with illegal gambling. Most arrests and summons involved gamblers playing highroller Texas Hold'em poker games with stakes sometimes reaching $3,000 per hand, from which the illegal casino establishments took a generous cut.

Police has been investigating illegal gambling for a long period of time, during which undercover officers were able to attain membership and join games conducted by illegal casino facilities. Some of the charges include professional gambling.

Seems like that was quite the "home" game they were playing there... so you see if you don't follow the rules, things CAN come and get you.

Wow, that had to really suck for them. I wonder if they will start doing that again, when they get the chance to. I know that I would never gamble again, if I got caught. Wow, I sometimes hate the laws, but then sometimes I love them.

Wow, that is quite a story...$3,000 per hand? I wonder how long the police were investigating this, and what tipped them off about the home games to begin with. I can only imagine the fines and penalties that the gamblers will be facing.
