Bexar County deputies raid seven alleged gambling venues in San Antonio
Bexar County deputies raided seven game rooms in San Antonio before dawn on Wednesday, detaining 23 people and seizing an estimated 500 to 600 gambling machines. Sheriff Javier Salazar said winners allegedly received trading cards that could be exchanged for cash at a neighbouring business; 13 detainees were expected to face charges or outstanding warrants.
The alleged trading-card payouts and planned charges highlight enforcement concerns around gambling machines in San Antonio.
