Lafayette Police Seize Gambling Machines
Lafayette police plan to aggressively investigate complaints of illegal gambling at area businesses after seizing 16 gambling machines Monday afternoon from an arcade game repair shop. The video poker machines removed from the Lucky Dog Pass, 500 N. Ninth St., are being held as evidence in a secure, city-owned facility, detective Sgt. Jim Taul said.
No one had been arrested in the investigation as of late Tuesday, but the case has been forwarded to the Tippecanoe County prosecutor's office for review, he said. Taul said the Lafayette Police Department received several complaints recently from Lucky Dog patrons who alleged they have lost money playing the video poker machines. Taul said players would receive 20 points for each dollar they fed the machine. They could then quit after a net gain in "credits" and cash out.
