Illegal Slot Machines Seized 

Oklahoma City was the scene of an illegal slot machine gambling operation, much to many residents’ surprise. There was a business running that was the scene of these illegal slot machines, and it was running right under their noses. Police received a tip that the slot machines were being operated and went in to see if this was really the case. 

They went to Bingo City, located in northwest Oklahoma City and upon arrival realized that there were illegal slot machines on the premises. Working together, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Department and the Oklahoma City Police Department, busted the patrons that were participating in playing them last Thursday night. They did not make any arrests while they were there though, much to the joy of the patrons. 

They say that they allowed the 50 or so patrons that were actually playing the slot machines to leave and they ended up questioning roughly 20 employees. However, they were not able to locate the owner of the building. They seized the 20 slot machines that were on the premises that were being used for the gambling operation. 

They say that they found illegal phone card machines that the owner was using as slot machines. By using the machines as illegal slot machines he obviously broke the law. He is facing a felony complaint of commercial gambling for having the slot machines on the premises. He could also be facing a misdemeanor possession of a slot machine, but authorities will have to find him first.
