Who would have thought that right in the midst of the bustling Israeli metropolitan of
Tel Aviv, and right next to one of the largest shopping malls in the county, the Azrieli Center, a casino would be up and running. But it was.
One would have only to walk not more than five minutes after passing the military center where the top military brass meet regularly and then cross the Azrieli Center and the Derech Ha Shalom train station. Three buildings after that, on the first floor of an old grey building packed with bustling offices, a casino was running behind closed doors.
Today, the Police came a knocking. Wielding large sledgehammers, they pounded on the heavily padlocked door. The brown steel structure collapsed after withstanding the police pounding for more than ten minutes, and the police were astonished to find that the insides had been desinged to look just like a vegas casino room or poker room. Velvet carpet covered the floors and huge roulette wheels were placed in the middle of the room. To the sides, shiny slot machines lit up the corners with their sparkling lights. A large coat rack was positioned right at the attention, where a black leather jacket had been forgotten. The cushioned chairs were arranged to accommodate as many gamblers as possible. And, to top it all off, portraits of some iconinc gamblers hung from newly painted walls.
