A judge’s decision will likely pave the way for state prosecutors to send $500,000 worth of video poker machines to a place where the games of chance will have no chance - a crusher. A total of 119 video poker machines were seized during a raid in Blacksburg on May 7, 2007, about two weeks after a casino-on-wheels opened to the public.
