A game about shooting digital fish is wrapped up in a $1 million illegal gambling case involving unlicensed gaming machines used in bars and convenience stores.
Bubba Technology Group, a Piedmont-based gaming company, pleaded guilty in federal court to operating an illegal gambling organization that provided unlicensed gaming machines to South Carolina businesses, including bars and convenience stores, according the U.S. Attorney’s Office in South Carolina. The company was charged with a felony and made to forfeit $367,000 in profits from its gambling operation.
Law enforcement agents also seized “dozens of machines” and an additional $670,000 from gaming houses affiliated with the business, according to a release from the United States Attorney’s Office.
