Every poker home game attendee's nightmare occurred this week when a private game in Hawaii was robbed at gunpoint, according to the Honolulu Police Department.

According to a police highlight reviewed by PokerNews, four unknown male suspects who were armed with multiple firearms unlawfully entered a residence and "demanded property from the documents that were within the residence." The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that the incident took place during a "social poker game."

Honolulu police, who learned about the incident from a 31-year-old female, said the suspects then fled the area "with money and property from the victims." No injuries were reported.

The incident took place in the Pali area of Honolulu, one of Hawaii's most popular major islands. No arrests had been made by the time of the report, and the investigation is ongoing.

Latest Home Game Robbery

This is hardly the first private poker home game to be robbed at gunpoint. In April 2024, PokerNewsreported on an incident in Suffolk, New York, where two masked gunmen robbed a poker game at a Long Island resident on Easter Sunday.

In that incident, the suspects stole cash, jewelry, cell phones and other valuable items from players and shot a man while they were exiting the house.

Home games aren't the only targets. On Christmas Eve 2024, three masked men allegedly robbed Johny’s Social Card Club in Northern Texas and made off with cash from the ATM.

And theft can even happen in the casino. In March, an Ohio poker dealer pleaded guilty to charges related to stealing chips out of cash game pots at JACK Casino.

The dealer, Jason Saliba, entered a guilty plea to nine gambling violations. He avoided jail time but received a lifetime ban from the Ohio casino.
