Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC) officials are highlighting the agency’s 2025 crackdown on illegal gambling, which more than doubled the amount of seized illegal gaming funds and slot machines compared with 2024.
The FGCC recapped its 2025 operations and confiscated some $14.47 million in illegal gambling funds and another 6,725 illegal slot machines from illegal gambling operations, according to a news release issued by the agency. Those figures are significantly higher than in 2024.
In that previous year, state gambling regulators confiscated 1,287 illegal slot machines and some $7.11 million in cash associated with those unlawful gambling operations that were seized.
FGCC Executive Director Alana Zimmer said the increase in crackdowns is due to heightened vigilance in Florida.
