twitterGaming Control Board seizes illegal machines
Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2004 | 9:17 a.m.
CLOVIS, N.M. -- Agents with the state Gaming Control Board have seized three illegal slot machines after spotting a full-page ad in the Clovis newspaper promoting a public sale at the National Guard Armory in Hobbs.
Sales manager Luis Chacon III, who works for the Homier Distributing Company of Huntington, Ind., was selling the machines for $159 each at last weekend's sale.
Chacon, of Atascosa, Texas, told the agents he wasn't aware that selling or owning such machines was illegal under the state Gaming Control Act.
The Gaming Control Board said the case would be referred to the district attorney's office once the investigation is complete.
The board routinely destroys illegal slot machines that it seizes. Since 1999, more than 2000 illegal gaming machines and components have been destroyed.
