Gambling Bust in the Village

Last night the Round Lake Police Department acting on a tip from a resident from six months ago, concluded a joint investigation with the Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group (LMEG) and arrested 24 people at the Four Coynes Tavern, including the owner Scott Coyne. The long term undercover operation uncovered the following:

• Weekly Wednesday night Texas Hold’em Tournaments.
• A Weekly NFL confidence pool.
• The sale of Football game strip cards.
• Super Bowl squares being sold ($75 per square, 100 squares).
• Two slot machines within the establishment are being used for gambling with payoffs.
  

There has been extensive documentation of all the above . This appears to have been an ongoing location of alleged gambling for many years. Newspaper coverage here.
