Bar owner Mike Kennedy is fighting a citation issued by the Ohio Department of Public Safety for allowing gambling in a liquor establishment. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kennedy’s bar offered a “free” poker league, whereby patrons competed for prizes, but paid no entry fee to play. The article states that Kennedy was able to bring in as many as 100 customers nightly. After issuing the citation, however, Kennedy’s poker tables and equipment were seized. Rather than pay the fine, Kennedy has chosen to contest the matter in court. His first suit was dismissed on procedural grounds, and his battle remains unresolved pending the outcome of a re-filed action.
