Tennessee authorities crack down on illegal gambling den

A gang operating an illicit gambling operation has been targeted by the Tennessee authorities, who have taken thousands of dollars in cash and arrested the owner. Furthermore, reportedly, the mastermind behind the unlicensed gambling establishment has been taken into custody.

Following complaints to local agents, the raid was conducted. Initially, the store was visited by undercover officers to assess the circumstances. Following their discovery, the store owner was exchanging the payout tickets for cash payments with another party, then giving out merchandise prizes to the winners.
 
Gambling is not illegal. Why then did they have to run an unregistered and unlicensed gambling outfit? Maybe, they just wanted to run a street based gambling outfit but it is not worth everything at the end.
