- October 8, 2019: RICO Complaint Michael Postle, Stones Gambling Hall and others
- The civil lawsuit filed October 8, 2019 in the Eastern District of California alleges nine separate causes of action. The complaint states: “This case concerns Mr. Postle’s systematic use of one or more electronic devices, for purposes of cheating, while playing in broadcast games of poker, to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from fellow players.” The complaint argues that Stones took a “more lackadaisical” approach to security than other producers of streamed poker content. The plaintiffs seek more than $10 million in damages from both Postle and Stones Gambling Hall. While the civil suit is one potential thorn to Postle and Stones, the allegations also raise potential questions about criminal charges if there was wrongdoing

- June 10, 2011: Sacramento Card Room Expansion-Goes Beyond City Limits
- The City of Sacramento appears to be the testing ground for the expansion of its card room activity. Two clubs are proposing a “new business model” significantly expanding the scope of gambling in one location. Additionally, a new state regulation creates an opportunity to increase the number of card rooms in the city limits. These proposals generate an imbalance between the various vested gambling interests and the state’s current gambling policy that go far beyond the city limits of Sacramento.

- April 9, 2010: ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE TO "AUDIT OF THE CITY'S
- ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE TO "AUDIT OF THE CITY'S Cardroom regulatory oversight function. It would appear that there is a loosening of regulatory oversight by the City. The Card Room ballot measure would raise the cardroom tax rate on gross revenues from 13% to 15%, allow each cardroom to seek City approval to increase the number of tables from 40 to 49, remove the limit on the number of permissible card games by permitting any card game allowed under State law consistent with city regulations and increase the current $200 betting limit to that allowed under State law. Further, the City Manager cites recent cooperative spirit that the Administration and cardrooms worked under to address some workplan items and advance a successful Cardroom Ballot Measure. EXPANSION = revenue to the City
