Hundreds of gambling devices were seized from dozens of western Pennsylvania establishments, resulting in charges against two companies, prosecutors announced on Tuesday.

The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General said over 400 illegal gambling devices were taken from bars, gas stations and convenience stores across the western part of the state, effectively shutting down a criminal gaming network.

The state filed felony corrupt organizations charges against Buffalo Skill Games, Inc. and J.J. Amusement, Inc. Both companies are owned and operated by John F. Conley, who already has prior federal convictions for illegal gambling, prosecutors said.
