(CBS 11 News) DALLAS Over the past weekend, Dallas Vice and SWAT officers were involved in one of the largest illegal gambling raids in North Texas. Three simultaneous raids are an indication of how popular illegal poker games are in Dallas, and how determined officers are to stop them.
Some see the games as "friendly," but police call it promotion of gambling, and conducted the weekend raids to flush out a growing underground industry.
Police had hidden camera video and floor plans for each location before the raids were executed.
