ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- The dawn of state-licensed casinos has prompted concerns that police will increase enforcement of laws against poker machines.

Many of Pennsylvania's 3,100 private clubs have long relied on revenue from illegal poker machines, so some casino owners are worried.

State police said that's not so. Maj. John Lutz, in charge of liquor control enforcement statewide, said officers only respond if a complaint is made. Often, it comes from a disgruntled club member or spouse. Lutz said no matter what club leaders believe, there are no orders to increase raids.

State Rep.Tom Caltagirone said he plans to introduce legislation to allow clubs to operate up to five poker machines. But the Berks County Democrat acknowledges that the chance of passage is slim.
