Charges filed after 400+ illegal gambling devices seized in Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — A Pennsylvania business owner is in hot water after being charged for having more than 400 illegal gambling devices in dozens of Pennsylvania establishments, Attorney General Dave Sunday announced.

Felony charges were filed against two companies — Buffalo Skills Games and J.J. Amusement — both owned and operated by John F. Conley. Sunday noted that Conley has prior federal convictions for illegal gambling.

Pennsylvania State Police assisted the Office of Attorney General in a series of seizures in the following counties:

  • Allegheny
  • Armstrong
  • Beaver
  • Butler
  • Cambria
  • Crawford
  • Erie
  • Indiana
  • Somerset
  • Venango
  • Washington
  • Westmoreland

The alleged illegal devices were found in bars, gas stations and convenience stores, Sunday noted.

”These devices were essentially slot machines dressed up as skill games,” Attorney General Sunday said. “I commend our partners at the Pennsylvania State Police for helping disband a large-scale operation that netted a tremendous amount of illegal gambling profits.”

This case is being prosecuted by the Office of Attorney General’s Gaming Enforcement Section.
