Manatee County deputies target 53 game rooms for illegal gambling 

*STOP THE SEMlNOLESMONOPOLY NOW!!!*

if they can’t tax it 100% must destroy it

Those machines are all over the place. Find something better to do. Catch real criminals not miniature casinos.

The worst rip off is the Florida Lottery. Look how they just ruined fantasy 5 game by dividing in half.

But spending $$$ on lottery tickets is ok?

Remember only the Indians an the state can make money off gambling not you!!! I see a market for illegal slot rooms in Florida . Ish all you have to do is open , pay out in tickets make the customer leave your establishment then go to another establishment that buys your 🎟 for cash. There are ways around this . Japan is a prime example .

Land of the free?

What a waste, why don't they fight real crime

Gambling should not be illegal.

I do not gamble , I refuse to take action of that compacity. Literally. It would not matter if it were my own personal monies or anyone else's. I would literally rather donate to a charitable works trust or something along those lines than to piss it or give it away.

Catch some real criminals. Before trial do dna tests on all and if any have any Indian blood all charges dropped.

👏👏👏

Where's Desantis? They all know people playing the machines need to be charged too. Who's Wells trying to keep out of trouble?

Excellent.

get big or go home or just go home.....whaaa whaaa whaaa waaaaahhhh

They all knew that they were doing and why. Why = $$$ It's the kind of thing you would expect from organized crime. They all know what is/is not legal. However, they make more than enough profit to assume the risk or find someone they can pay to assume the risk for them. It's the same reason why mini subs still continue to try to smuggle drugs into the country after the Coast Guard stops one, then another. If not the the the "players" and player demand for such products it would all go away, just not today.

A lot of salty gambling addicts in the comments 😂

I won some money in this game room lol. When delivering auto parts in bradenton. There are still tons of them in operation in manatee county. Pinellas county, pasco and hernando counties . No matter how often you shut them down they will always pop back up and re open because they're just too profitable. The guy will go to jail a few years ,get out, open another one The longest running game room that has never shut down in over ten years is action arcade in st pete. 54th ave and 66th st. Ive lost my fair share thats for sure im an addict, but the police should be catching real criminals and thugs instead of busting these mini casinos. I ruined my life gambling at every little game room casino but that is my own fault and i should have self control

Unless your last name is Biden.

Why not shut them all down. People dont know!!!

Did the IRS keep their eyes 👀 on this illegal criminal at all. How many people's are gambling addiction and suffering. to makes this crooked laughing with all the illegal monies inthe Cayman Island.😂
