Four members of a single family, including an 83-year-old patriarch, have been charged with running an illegal gambling business out of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. 

Those charged include Robert Biros, 83, and three of his children – 56-year-old John, 55-year-old Christine and 52-years-old Andrew.

The investigation into the Biros family began about seven years ago after agents seized a few poker machines.
