This was probably some anti-gambling law from long long ago.
Now I’d like to know more about this law. It must be an old, dated law or something. In Missoula MT, Palace Billiards is in the basement of a great restaurant. Great pool hall too. If you go there, tell them that that shark from Arizona sent you!
