82-YEAR-OLD WOMAN CUFFED FOR RUNNING AN UNLICENSED CASINO OUT OF HER GARAGE DAYTON, OH — Gloria Stern, 82, was arrested and charged with operating an illegal gambling establishment after deputies say she had converted her attached garage into a fully functioning casino, complete with a felt-topped poker table, house chips, and a rotating schedule of weekly card games open to the neighborhood. Deputies say the operation had reportedly been running for over two years before a noise complaint led to the discovery. She reportedly required a $10 buy-in per player, per session, cash only Deputies say the house took a standard rake off every pot, tracked in a spiral notebook She allegedly offered a loyalty program, with a free buy-in after every tenth visit Neighbors say the garage games drew a consistent crowd of 12 to 15 regulars weekly Deputies say the felt table alone was custom-built and valued at roughly $1,200 She reportedly served coffee and homemade cookies at every session, included in the buy-in She allegedly told deputies, "it's just cards with friends, the felt table was a gift to myself" A regular player said Gloria's garage games were better run than most casino floors he'd visited, right down to the punctual start times and the cookie selection. Deputy Investigator Reggie Poe, Metro PD, 13 years on the force, said, "We've shut down illegal card games before. First time one came with a loyalty program and baked goods."
