ParanoidObsessive 06/06/19 12:56:26 AM #15:	MrMelodramatic posted... Report it to the authorities. Almost every VFW and similar sort of hall tend to engage in gambling of various types (from bingo to card games), and the authorities don't really give much of a shit. Short of moving some REALLY massive sums of money as a fully operating bookie or straight up setting up slot machines in the lobby, no one governmental is really going to care. Pushing hard will probably just get you laughed at. Push hard enough against what is seen as a patriotic group, and you may start to notice local bureaucracy doing minor things to start fucking with you back.
