The Law

At the height of Reno's gambling boom, desperate players would pawn anything for a few extra chips, including their false teeth. The city passed an ordinance to stop pawnshops from accepting dental prosthetics. It functioned as both a hygiene measure and a bizarre deterrent to extreme gambling addiction.
