MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) _ Residents at a Muncie senior center say they were contacted by the Indiana Gaming Commission and told they can no longer pay a few dollars to play euchre for prizes like a pack of cookies or toilet paper.
Judy Elton, director of the Delaware County Senior Citizens Center, says she was contacted early last week. She says the center will comply with state law and stop offering prizes.
But Elton says she and members of the center's board are concerned about the loss of revenue from about 50 euchre players. She says the center received about $1 of the $2.50 game fee.
Gaming commission executive director Sara Tait tells The (Muncie) Star Press that the agency reached out to the center to educate officials about the law after receiving a complaint.
