Some information on the game rooms in the Galveston county. This was published in the Galveston Daily News earlier this year. The new Sheriff (Freddie Poor) has increased the enforcement to clean these places up. They are found in the unincorporated parts of the county.

Re: Game room customer shoots armed robber
I am glad this turned out the way it did.
I was a broke prison guard a few years back and took a job at night running the crackheads out of one of these gamerooms. The place was absolutely disgusting. If an armed robber doesn't kill you, the stale cigarette smoke mixed with pinesol might.
There is absolutely no reason to be in one of these places and not expect trouble. For the same reasons I avoid convinience stores (cash business), I avoid gamerooms. There is no security, plenty of cash on hand, and many times a robbery will not be reported because the owners do not want the police involved. IMO they are just all around slimy.
That said, I have to beg my Grandmother to stay out of these places on the Bayshore.
