For everyone's safety, the local police are protecting 78-year-old ladies from losing $18 playing in those illegal poker games:

Those of you who live in South Caroline, count yourselves as lucky! Your local constabulary is looking after your best interests! Why go after violent crime when there is ohmygod! poker being played illegally?

Police outfitted the informant with an audio and video transmitter and then sent the informant into the home with $100, according to a police report. While police conducted surveillance from an undercover vehicle, the informant used $20 to buy into the game and gamble, police said.

$20? Jaysus, they just burn up the money down yonder. Well done to SLED for stamping out this vicious gambling den. I'm sure the streets of Mt. Pleasant (oddly enough I live in Mt. Pleasant, DC and lived in SC, strange coinkydink) are safe tonight.

(ok I saw a description of a "rake" in the article which we all know is bad but still).
