TWIN FALLS, Idaho The odds were stacked against retirees at the Twin Falls Senior Center earlier this month when police arrived to break up a long-running poker game after receiving an anonymous tip. About 20 seniors had played at the center for more than five years, but police say nothing in Idaho law permits gambling at any age. Police gave the seniors a warning and didnt make any arrests.
