A Jacksonville city council member wants to legalize adult game rooms to keep them safer -- but there's a catch.
Now, they’re operating underground and there is a push to legalize them again.“You sit and you play on your phone just like you were playing at a casino. And when you win they give you your money right then,” said Rachele Russ, who was at a Jacksonville gaming room on Tuesday.hundreds operating illegally throughout Jacksonville“They are underground they are a haven for crime. It’s time to bring them into the light and regulate them.” Dennis said.
“There’s hundreds all over our city that are robbing the consumer and it’s wrong. And now it’s time to shut them down and limit the number of operators,” Dennis said.During the past year News4JAX has been to several of these sites. They are operating discreetly, no signs saying what’s going on inside.
Over the past two decades, the city and state have made numerous attempts to try and shut down these adult game rooms. “I know that the game room operators felt that they got a raw deal from the city three years ago when they were shut down on short notice after they have been operating in Jacksonville for years,” Mathis said.
