Police officers conducted a sting at a convenience store in the 7500 block of Stewart Road Friday. A clerk at the store allegedly sold alcohol to an 18-year-old who was working with the police.
While officers were taking information from the clerk, a customer in the store requested cash payment for his winnings from an 8-liner—and the clerk paid him.
The officers called the vice squad, who confiscated the machines and more than $10,000 in cash.
No one was arrested. The information was turned over to the DA's office.

Nearly every convenience store that I have been in has 8-liners.- Jim
Who owns or sells the 8-liners? Individuals are making large amount of money as show by the $10,000 in cash from a small store. What is the income per year? My local store has 8 in the back room. The local PD are parked in the front for coffee every morning.
If you legalize the machine then the money is taxed and tracked. So, who is controlling the system?
