Video Poker 247 - Illegal Video Poker Bust of Tampered Machines

Not only were the video poker machines illegal, but they were also tampered with – making them illegal to be run even if they weren’t already illegal by state law. The state seized roughly $2 million in the bust of the illegal video poker machines at local bars, as well as several video poker machines.

If you have played video poker games recently in Montgomery or Delaware County, you will not be happy to know that the machines were tampered with so that they player would lose, and not win on the machines.

The prosecution said that James Connelly of JC Vending Company distributed the illegal video poker machines. They said that as you played the machines points would be taken off from any winning hands.

They say that the both the bar owners and the vending machine company are responsible for the illegal video poker machines, as well as the tampering of them. Charges have not been filed as of yet, but several businesses are going to be facing corruption and gambling charges for running the illegal video poker machines.

They say that the video poker machines were set up in a way that practically guaranteed a losing situation for the majority of players, and that the odds were much worse than you would see in a major casino. They say that players were going to fail at playing the video poker machines no matter what they did.
