The unidentified guard was injured but he\u2019s expected to recover, according to the Fresno Bee<\/em> news outlet. Police didn\u2019t detail his injuries.<\/p>\n

The suspect attempted to enter the cardroom before the guard stopped him. A shoving match ensued and, when the suspect attempted to leave the property, he was apprehended by the guard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when the suspect assaulted the guard with the unspecified metal object.<\/p>\n

The unnamed suspect was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He was booked and the case was turned over to local prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Club One Casino is a cardroom with 51 table games, a restaurant, and three bars.<\/p>\n

$20K Seized in Colorado Gambling Raids<\/h2>\n

Police seized about $20K and 62 gambling machines on Monday during raids<\/a> of illegal gambling operations in Pueblo, Col.<\/p>\n

\n

Eleven suspects were given citations for illicit gaming, according to Colorado<\/a> TV station KOAA<\/em>. The charges include: engaging in gambling, possession of a gambling device, gambling premise, and electronic gambling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The gambling joints were found at four locations identified as 320 West Northern Avenue, 1103 North Elizabeth Street, 1722 South Prairie Avenue, and 303 East Northern Avenue.<\/p>\n

The searches took place after police investigated suspicious activity at the locations. The arrests follow the enactment of a new gambling ordinance that was approved in May by the Pueblo City Council.<\/p>\n

Bandit Fails in Attempted Macau Casino Robbery<\/h2>\n

A 53-year-old suspect was recently arrested after he demanded cash from a Macau casino employee in a botched holdup.<\/p>\n

The suspect walked into a casino cashier\u2019s office and claimed to have a bomb in a plastic bag, which he placed on a counter. The robber then ordered the employee to turn over HKD 2M (US $256,26700).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The employee notified security guards who quickly apprehended him.<\/p>\n

The item in the bag was a power bank typically used to charge cell phones.<\/p>\n

\n

As police investigated the crime, it turned out the robber had lost money at the casino while gambling years ago, Macau Business<\/em> reported. He apparently wanted revenge for the prior loss on the casino floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

No one was seriously injured during the holdup attempt. A security guard suffered minor injuries during a confrontation with the suspect. The casino wasn’t named in local news reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
