Armistice Club

912-1/2 Texas Ave
Houston, Texas
Type: Illegal
Status: Closed
Open: 1920s

The Armistice Club was located in downtown Houston, Texas, on Texas Avenue. With owner Fred Skaggs and associate Herman Williams ran the club. In 1927 an injunction was leveled on the Armistice for gambling. Harassment continued throughout until 1935 when the club was raided and gambling equipment was seized. Fred Skaggs, probably tired of the petty gambling and raids, upped the ante and became one of Houston's premier policy racket bosses.

About Illegal Casinos - by their nature, information about illegal, or unlicensed, casinos is hard to find and difficult to verify. Information presented on the ChipGuide about these casinos is provided as the result of our best efforts but may not be 100% accurate. Even if the information is accurate, gamblers move around and may take their equipment with them; items used in one casino may have also been used in others. Please send verified information about illegal casinos to the ChipGuide so that we may improve our accuracy.
