A gambling ring on the citys Southside didnt pay off for the alleged operator, according to a Corpus Christi Police news release. <\/p>\n
An extensive, long-term investigation into illegal gambling led to a search warrant being executed at a home in the 5400 block of Sugar Creek Drive about 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 8, 2017. <\/p>\n
Inside the home narcotics and vice investigators found more than 30 slot machines, referred to as eight-liners, and about $5,000 in cash, a news release states. <\/p>\n
During the investigation police learned the game room was paying out sizeable cash rewards to customers who played the machines in violation of state law. <\/p>\n
Although the operator had taken significant precautions to disguise the illegal operation, which was being run from a home in a quiet residential neighborhood officers received enough information during the investigation to uncover the gambling ring, according to the release. <\/p>\n
Two people were arrested in connection with the gambling operation. They were not booked into Nueces County Jail as of 6 p.m., according to a jail official. <\/p>\n
The investigation is ongoing, police said. <\/p>\n
