MIAMI -- On Thursday night, Miami-Dade police raided Sunset Bingo and Arcade at 96th Avenue and Southwest 72nd Street and seized several video machines. According to investigators, the machines were being used for illegal gaming.
Police said that instead of receiving their winnings in cash, customers were given Visa debit cards.
Police arrested the owner, Abdo Alsaidi, but did not arrest any of his customers.
Officers told Local 10's Kellie Butler that most of the customers are elderly and did not know the establishment was running an illegal operation.
