HEADLINE: Poker Players Want Trial To Challenge
Gambling Law
Body:
A group of poker players
arrested for gambling in Mount Pleasant have asked for a jury
trial in an effort to change the state's 200-year-old ban on games
of cards and dice.
No trial date has been set for the 18 people arrested in April
during a police raid. Police seized nearly six thousand dollars.
Four other defendants pleaded guilty and were fined $100 each.
Authorities say the house operated a high-stakes poker
parlor that advertised games
over the Internet. Police say players paid $20 to buy in to play
with a percentage of proceeds going to the house.
