Lucky 7 Owners Continue to Fight Gambling Charges
The arcade at the Liberty Tree Mall was closed by the state last year.
The owners of the Lucky 7 arcades in Danvers and Gloucester that were raided and closed by the state last year have turned down a deal with Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office.
The Salem News reported that the family continues its fight and rejected a plea deal. The family was offered the deal a month ago, but there is no word as to details of the offer, reported The Salem News.
The state charged that the adult penny arcade with a location at the Liberty Tree Mall promoted a lottery and unlawfully operated games. While Coakley’s office said the games at Lucky 7 did not involve skill, the owners said the gaming machines were not slot machines and involved skill, reported the Salem News.
