WSB<\/a>: North Georgia VFW post busted for hosting \u201cillegal\u201d gambling, including slot machines and table games<\/span><\/p>\n Over the last weekend, I took #2 to a birthday party that was at some Dave & Busters-clone type of joint, where they had bowling, laser tag, arcade machines.\u00a0 Additionally, they also had a section of the place loosely cordoned off with some velvet ropes that had pool tables as well as, slot machines.<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t really care enough to find out the entire legality of the ability to have slot machines in the state of Georgia, but the point remains that at a place clearly geared up to be friendly to all ages, which is to say a place where you can bring young children to and not get judged too much by asshole bystanders, this place still had a row of slot machines, in plain sight for kids to see and potentially watch, along with the gamblers who could be playing them.<\/span><\/p>\n So it\u2019s a little puzzling to read this story about how some VFW post up in the sticks of Georgia was busted and raided because they had gambling there, because there are a number of Kroger grocery stores throughout the state who also have slot machines, legally, in addition to the number of joints that have them in plain sight.<\/span><\/p>\n If I had to guess, the real issue is probably that it\u2019s not so much the fact that the VFW post didn\u2019t report their gambling activities, it\u2019s probably the fact that they probably paid no tax on their intake, as well as any of their gamblers probably weren\u2019t paying taxes on any of their winnings, even though I highly doubt that a VFW hall is going to be a place where guys are routinely clearing $10,000+, the general cutoff where one should expect a notification from the IRS for exceeding.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s just funny to me, because gambling is an ever-increasing problem in my opinion, throughout the United States, and as gambling has permeated through the internet, and states are relaxing their buttholes and pulling the anti-gambling stick out of them, and the act is hardly restricted to just Las Vegas, Atlantic City or indigenous lands anymore, it\u2019s becoming really problematic, I think.<\/span><\/p>\n Underground gambling undoubtedly has been going on since the dawn of civilization, but if I had to guess, it has probably gotten absolutely worse throughout the last decade or so with the relaxation of gambling laws, and the increasing availability of gaming in general.\u00a0 Like, people who weren\u2019t gamblers to begin with have a greater chance of being exposed and introduced and apt to become them, and with enough drive and addiction, it\u2019s only a matter of time before they\u2019re pissing away their social security checks at the local VFW because they heard that they could play some hold \u2018em for cash.<\/span><\/p>\n When Shohei Ohtani got busted for gambling and he and MLB threw his interpreter under the bus, there was a great meme about how the golden boy could have gotten into this gambling scandal.\u00a0 And all Japanese guys being degenerate gambling addict jokes aside, there was this one meme that I always remembered and still refer to this day:<\/span><\/p>\n Welcome back to SportsCenter<\/em> presented by ESPN Bet, for more on the Ohtani situation, we go to our FanDuel MLB Insider Jeff Passan at our DraftKings Studio in Los Angeles, brought to you by Caesar\u2019s Sportsbook.\u00a0 Jeff, how could something like this happen??<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n That\u2019s how I feel about the VFW gambling hall that\u2019s supposedly illegal.\u00a0 Sure, they probably weren\u2019t paying any taxes on the cash money circulating around the joint, but at the same time, I can\u2019t imagine anything remotely close to a casino\u2019s liquid was sloshing around the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n Plus, probably all of them are veterans who have served the country in some way shape or form, leave them the fuck alone.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying they should get full-on Armageddon<\/em> don\u2019t ever have to pay taxes ever again, but for fuck\u2019s sake, turn the other cheek on some casual entertainment gambling, they\u2019re not hurting anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead, Uncle Sam gets to fuck over these guys a second time around, by shutting down their social gathering spot, and being colossal assholes in going after a small pissant operation, in the grand spectrum of illegal gambling operations throughout the country.<\/span><\/p>\n Way to go, Georgia.\u00a0 Way to go, \u2018murica.\u00a0 Sure is great here<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WSB: North Georgia VFW post busted for hosting \u201cillegal\u201d gambling, including slot machines
