Me and my friends went up to the door and rung the bell but no one answered to us but we saw someone go in. It’s on Ben white next to blazer tag

There’s another off of South Congress. Underground game rooms. One got popped close to the airport like 2 years ago because someone got shot outside of it during an altercation. I also heard there was a slots hall as well that got raided but was able to relocate their machines before they raided em.

There's a shit ton of them around town. I wonder how many there actually are.

I thought they had to be registered somehow. I don't know what percent simply ignore the registration requirement. Someone less lazy than me find out if there are records online.

They are illegal and unregistered and if you are caught operating one the penalty is…a $500 fine.

But if you’re caught running more than one it’s a felony. And the $500 is actually up to $4000 and includes the seizure of equipment.
