Aren't these antique machines, i mean i know on all casinos nowadays there are poker tables not poker machines...

The machines I know got nothing to do with poker. They're like any other slot machine just shows card instead of berries. Theoretically, some knowledge is required to know whether to bet after a flop but in the end it's all luck, and of course the house always wins
yes is video pokerpoker it works just like a slotmachine but then wil poker hands mostly nl draw kinda way or holdem in any case is a slot so house always win

Where else would you expect to find a whole load of old illegal gaming machines but in an old warehouse? I dunno, you can tell its in the states . It'll be a big job with loads of sensational stories about it that'll keep this poker and gambling scam of the US govt going for years.

...lol... THAT is not only funny,...but a damned good idea you came up with there Macubaas,...just so long as buddy doesn't get fined or criminally charged. It would cost an arm and a leg here in Ontario to dispose of that many electronics.
I don't think they are illegal here,....last I heard, various provinces of Canada license establishments to run them so the governments can ciphon off millions of dollars in tax revenues...

So is this place the machines were found in an operating state or just sitting there in a storage type scenario? I mean is the presence of these type of machines illegal or are they illegal if they're in use? I wish there was more detail to the story since it appears that the machines are all unplugged and lined up.

750 machines is a heck of a lot. I wonder if there were any full ones there! I doubt that these machines are working nowadays but it would be great to see just how outdated they are
