Snitch ruins Florida retirement community's penny-ante mahjong game


ORLANDO, FLA.
Someone was suspicious of Zelda King and her gang of gambling grandmas.

She and her octogenarian gal-pals gathered every Thursday at the clubhouse of the Escondido Condominium retirement community in Altamonte Springs where they spent hours around a table overlooking the pool, wagering on mahjong.

Then the cops came.

A snitch had ratted them out, authorities said.

"It's ridiculous," she said of the police inquiry into money games at the Escondido Condominiums clubhouse.

The probe was prompted by a complaint to state authorities about gambling at the condo complex, including penny-ante poker, $5 bingo nights and mahjong games with King and her friends, Bernice Diamond, Lee Delnick and Helen Greenspan, a Holocaust survivor.
