Press release from the Florida Gaming Control Commission
CAPE CORAL, Fla. — The Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC), in partnership with the Cape Coral Police Department, recently seized 60 illegal slot machines from a business operating under the guise of a legal bingo establishment. The enforcement, known as Operation Going Downtown, took place at 2708 Santa Barbara Boulevard, Suite 108, in Cape Coral, at a location named Uptown Bingo.
“Bingo is fun, and the FGCC supports lawful play,” said FGCC Commissioner Peter Cuderman. “Unfortunately, criminals prey on Floridians by using a bingo theme on slot machines and falsely claiming these games are legal. If you have concerns about the legality of a bingo operation, call our tipline at 850-880-3433. Our FGCC agents are here to serve Floridians and protect them from unscrupulous operators.”…
