Slot Machines In Georgia Gas Stations

Picture yourself dropping a coin into a slot machine and winning the “big one.” That may be most people's dream, but it rarely happens. For example, most casinos set their slot machines to pay out only 83-to-99 percent of the money they take in. Play at a gas station, bus terminal or any other place that has slot.

In the city of Atlanta, video gambling machines are a frequent sight in poor communities. Customers will spend hours and sometimes large amounts of cash trying to win at these highly regulated machines. Gas station owners make a tidy sum on machines that are sometimes rigged. One customer in Atlanta decided to get back some of that cash and now police are looking for him.

In Georgia, winners of the game are supposed to be paid in store credit, or with Georgia lottery tickets. However, across the state, many gas station owners illegally pay customers in cash. This leads to a significant illegal gambling scheme that has resulted in the arrest of gas station owners and serious fines.

The video of the thief in action can be viewed below.
