Illegal Gambling Phoenix
Right now, outside of Tribal casinos, horse and dog racing is the only kind of betting available in Arizona. This is a good alternative while sports betting remains illegal. However, daytime horse racing and dog racing are not allowed to take place in the same county, so even the laws around those are a little restrictive. PHOENIX (FOX 10) - Several people were busted during a poker night at a bar in the Valley. Officials with the Arizona Department of Gaming says the raid was part of a seven month long. In addition, 11 customers were arrested for outstanding warrants and drug offenses.
