Police found more than fifteen poker players at an illegal casino. Officers raided a secret gambling spot in Telmana village within the Leningrad Region. The underground poker club had operated from an attic for about ten months. Players gathered twice weekly for card games that earned the owner up to 300 thousand rubles per session. Only trusted people played there, along with new visitors they brought.
Law enforcement detained sixteen people during the raid. Those caught included the business organizer, an administrator, two dealers, waitresses, and players. Police took two poker tables, card sets, computers, and phones as evidence. The hidden location served regular customers who kept operations secret from the authorities. The gambling den attracted players through word-of-mouth from existing members. The illegal business managed to stay hidden for nearly a year before police discovered it.
