Thatcher vs. State, 48 Ark., 60. 166 14 Am. and Eng. Ency. Law, 698 (2nd Ed.).

An agent managing a gaming house for another is the keeper of the house;168 he need not be the owner or otherwise interested in the enterprise.169

So where a person has an interest in a gaming house he will be liable for keeping the place whether he is actually present or not.170

Therefore any person who in any manner aids or abets another in operating a gaming house is liable, such as furnishing machines used in gaming.171
