Either Poker Or Beer
30th 2005f June 2005
The same old story – one more bar has been divested of the beer license. And the reason is as old as poker – poker tournaments are illegal. But it didn’t stop the enterprising Todd Erks, the owner of a Harrisburg bar.
Dennis Weeldrever, commission member, said the Todd put this commission in a position where the state’s attorney said he was breaking the law. He also said that they cant’ renew the license.
And the same old dispute began. Of course, Todd Erks doesn’t agree with the law’s description of poker. He says: "Ask any poker player, and they will tell you it's a game of skill."
In fact, it was not the first time Todd had problems with the police. Wollman said: “From this day forward, if that activity continues, we're going to come in there with the sheriff's department and start issuing citations”. Erks continued… And there are more than 1,400 of Erks-like bar owners. Yes, true criminals…
