The Florida Gaming Control Commission, in partnership with the Tavares Police, shut down two casinos last week, making two arrests and seizing 125 illegal machines and US$62,051.61 in cash.
Jungle Hut on Burleigh Boulevard and Lucky Arcade on Duncan Drive, both in Tavares, Florida, US, were both shut down, with an arrest made at each venue for possession of slot machines and keeping a gambling house.
“We are grateful for the collaboration with Chief Coursey and her outstanding team,” stated Florida Gaming Control Commission acting executive director Ross Marshman. “Illegal casinos continue to be a concern in Florida’s communities, and we are glad to shut the doors on these two criminal enterprises.”
