A state legislator has proposed a bill that would allow restaurants and bars to host poker games in which winning players would receive prizes instead of money. However, a spokesman for the Mohegan Sun casino told the Mirror that if the Legislature passes the bill, the casino would view that as a violation of the state's agreement with the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes and would withhold Connecticut's $400 million share of its slot machine revenues.
Locally, Milford police spokesman Vaughan Dumas said this week, "We sent a warning letter to every establishment in Milford that delivers liquor, including restaurants and bars, as well as private clubs, such as the Elks and American Legion," warning that poker games at such establishments are illegal.
