\"hawaii\"With illicit betting activities steadily creeping into the residential areas of Hawaii, the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in the archipelago state is doubling down on its crusade against illegal gambling. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week, U.S. Attorney Kenji Price<\/a> announced five prominent illegal gaming cases that have brought on charges against 15 defendants, the state\u2019s latest show of force in enforcing Hawaii gambling laws.<\/p>\n

Hawaii has grown increasingly concerned about the prevalence of illegal gambling and the latest reports shows that unlawful gambling operations have started to spread into residential areas like Waipahu and Pearl City. <\/p>\n

Of the five cases filed, two of them involve gambling operations being run from single-family homes in Oahu, Hawaii. Price has declined to comment if the offending the parties are renters or owners, citing that investigations are still ongoing.<\/p>\n
