The Port Arthur Narcotics and Gun Unit conducted numerous undercover operations to expose illegal gambling in the City of Port Arthur, arresting two women in November allegedly promoting gambling in city establishments.
Nov. 4, police arrested 46-year-old Ngan Kieu To, charged with gambling promotion while working within the facility of Lucky’s Game Room, located at 1110 9th Ave.
Nov. 11, 36-year-old Vivian Uyen Nguyen was also arrested and charged with gambling promotion while working within the facility of Maytag Laundry, located at 2600 9th Ave.
Both locations, police allege, contained multiple “8-liner” casino-style gaming machines. A gaming permit, granted on condition that the machines are used for “entertainment only” with no cash winnings awarded, was removed by officers and the facility was shut down at Lucky’s, 1110 9th Ave., “due to multiple violations.”
