(Jamma) The financiers of the Citta di Castello Lieutenancy have carried out a check in recent days in an amusement arcade in the Upper Tiber Valley. The complex intervention of the yellow flames, given the high number of appliances present inside the room, required the help of officials of the State Monopolies of Perugia equipped with special equipment to monitor the trend of meter management flows and data in real time of all the latest generation New Slots installed in the room.
Despite the regular connection to the telematic network and the transmission of data relating to the bets made to the network concessionaire, a careful and widespread check carried out inside the devices revealed tampering with the anti-burglary systems of the electronic cards.
In practice it was possible to have access to the aforesaid electronic cards, by the manager of the devices or by the operator of the arcade, without causing their immediate blocking and reporting to the state monopolies, as required by sector legislation.
At the moment, only administrative irregularities have been contested on the 18 new slot machines - which were immediately subjected to administrative seizure for subsequent confiscation. Furthermore, the sums of money contained in the devices were also seized, for a total of around 13 thousand euros. The administrative fine imposed on the manager amounts to 72 thousand euros
Further investigations and developments of the operation are not excluded to identify in the seized slot machines the application in the counters of a chip or filter which could influence the tax levy, the so-called "Preu", by sending the data to the telematic network of the state monopolies " retouched” downwards, as happened in other operations of the kind carried out by the yellow flames on the provincial territory.
