A crafty Speedway owner in Sevierville, Tennessee thought she found a way around the state's anti-gambling laws. Inside the diner were four arcade cabinets, two of which contained video poker machines in addition to arcade hardware. The cabinets were rigged to switch from arcade to poker mode by remote control, so if Centipede failed to give you a thrill, perhaps Texas hold 'em would do the trick.The police got wind of the situation and seized all four machines. Owner Sharon Tarwater was charged with possession of gambling devices. Looks like it's time to break out the old "video games made me do it" defense!
