More than a dozen people have been detained by Houston Texas deputies after an electrical fire at a local church.

When firefighters went in, deputies found people trapped inside an illegal game room. Source say it had around 100 machines.

Since this time the sheriff's office tells KHOU 11 they haven't found any REAL money being exchanged in the game room, which makes it legal. Deputies searched this church with a warrant just two weeks ago, adding this is under investigation and no one has been arrested.
