A charity poker room in Indianapolis that generated nearly $4 million worth of rake last year is under investigation for undisclosed reasons, it is run by the Northside Knights of Columbus, and had a profit of $150,000 last year, per a state Gaming Commission report.
The poker room, which runs games twice a week, assures two statements in regards of the investigation but aren’t statements just believes, the first one is that the investigations is due to minor issues such as not prominently displaying rule signs such as one that reminds players that tipping the dealers is not allowed under the state’s charity gaming regulations.
And that the state officials were contacted by a disgruntled poker player who was banned from the games.
The poker games are continuing while the state takes another look at the operation.
The investigation into the poker room follows last year’s crackdown of a charity poker room in nearby Fort Wayne, Indiana. The state of Indiana said that the Fraternal Order of Eagles 3512 room only gave a small fraction of its gaming revenue back to charity.
