A pool hall which I grew up in (Murphy's Brass Rails) was raided last night for gambling. Now the gambling charges are probably not what you think. It wasn't on a pool table. It was from slot machines.

For the rest of the story you can go to Athens Online

I personally am against vice laws. Wether gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc. I do find it interesting that only the slot machines where investigated and not gambling on the tables.

Pool is not considered gambling

Mr. McCHesney hired the most prestigious law firm in the country to investigate and they said a bet between two individuals on the outcome of a pool game is not considered gambling because it's a game of skill, not a game of chance. However, they said calcuttas are illegal in all 50 states even though many of us still have them. :D :p :D
