SCHERERVILLE, Ind. (WISH) - Indiana State Excise Police officers cited a Schererville bar on three charges related to more than $200,000 in illegal gambling by more than 400 people on Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Excise police receiving an anonymous tip that Spike’s Lakeside Inn, 21 E. Joliet St., Schererville was engaging in unlawful gambling.
Sunday, excise officers seized three Super Bowl gambling boards, which each contained 100 squares costing participants $100 or $1,000 per chance. Some squares were sold to more than one person. A representative of Spike's turned over approximately $204,367 to police.
The charges are: public nuisance (to-wit: promoting professional gambling, a Class D felony), failure to maintain good character and reputation and violation of the scope of a Type II gaming endorsement.
Additional administrative-law charges against the bar are possible. Participants could face charges of unlawful gambling, a Class B misdemeanor.
