德州撲克室突襲行動四人被捕 警方打擊抽取底池佣金

休士頓當局突襲Katy Poker撲克室，逮捕四人並控以參與有組織犯罪活動。當局稱這是對未遵守會員制模式、非法抽取底池佣金的德州撲克室大規模取締行動的開端。

當局週四突襲了休士頓另一家撲克俱樂部，並表示這只是對德州這個主要都會區牌室大規模取締行動的開端。

哈里斯縣地方檢察官Sean Teare在最新被突襲的撲克室Katy Poker外向記者發表談話。Teare指控該牌室非法經營。

此次行動中有四人被捕，均被控參與有組織犯罪活動。哈里斯縣警長辦公室一名警官表示，預計還會有更多指控，包括可能的洗錢罪。

Katy Poker是德州凱蒂的一家小型牌室，擁有八張牌桌，主要提供低至中額賭注的遊戲。但據警方稱，該商家一直未依法經營。

休士頓警方不再對撲克室睜一隻眼閉一隻眼

德州有嚴格的反賭博法。但德州刑法第47章為撲克室合法經營開闢了道路，前提是不抽取佣金。合法的牌室如Texas Card House和The Lodge Card Club，以會員費和座位費代替抽水。

有些立法者認為，無論商業模式如何，撲克都是非法的。然而，Teare明確表示，會員制俱樂部是在法律範圍內經營，當局並未針對這些商家。

然而，Katy Poker因涉嫌透過抽取現金局底池佣金非法經營而被關閉。但突襲的目的不僅僅是該牌室涉嫌收取佣金。

「這些撲克室是犯罪活動的樞紐，」一名休士頓警官告訴記者。

當局表示，非法撲克室「對合法經營的牌室造成了問題」。警方還稱，這些場所缺乏安全保障，犯罪分子經常徘徊其中，等待搶劫那些口袋裡帶著錢離開的撲克玩家。

Katy Poker是休士頓都會區內凱蒂鎮近幾週被突襲的第二家牌室。該地區受歡迎的撲克室101 Richmond上個月也面臨類似法律行動。然而，該牌室在不到24小時後重新開業，但當局查扣了11.8萬美元現金。

兩次突襲中均無玩家被捕，但警方明確表示，這只是對未遵守會員制商業模式的休士頓撲克室採取法律行動的開始。
