Sanford Home to Illegal Slot Machines

The police raided a Sanford garage and found illegal gambling and a slot machine. The Kendale Service Center at 1507 S. Horner Blvd. was operating an illegal gambling den, and the slot machine was just the beginning of it.

The police found alcohol, poker chips, gaming tables, a slot machine, cash, all the things needed to run your own gambling hall. In fact, one of the tables was so large the owner had to take down a wall for the police to get it outside. The police seized the slot machine and various gambling paraphernalia, and charged the owner with possession of gaming tables and selling liquor without a license.

The owner, Michael Dana Anderson, according to police had to know that what he was doing was illegal. In addition to the slot machine there was also two video poker machines which were legal. The police said that they had received tips of illegal slot machines and gambling, so they went in to investigate. However, Anderson is fighting the charges as he says someone was storing the stuff there, and that it was not his.

The Sheriff’s office isn’t buying the story, they say that between the slot machine, the tables, the alcohol, etc. – this was an active gambling casino.
