According to state authorities, over 700 machines were found in the facility, where it is believed they were stored and repaired.

Investigators think the machines – which are similar to ones that have been seized from convenience stores and other locations in the state – were destined for North Carolina and Alabama after finding permits for those neighbouring states on several of the machines.

An investigation into the source of the machines is under way.
