Florida Gaming Control Commission seizes 22 illegal gambling machines

The Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC) has announced the seizure of 22 Illegal Gambling Machines. The news comes from a team-up between the FGCC and the Port Orange Police Department to reduce the impact of unregulated gambling on the surrounding area.

Three locations were the target of the coordinated police action on South Nova Road and Herbert Street in Port Orange.

At Mulligan’s Grill, Agents served a notice to an individual involved with the location to appear at a hearing for the “Keeping of a Gambling House and Possession of Slot Machines.”

Police seized eight illegal slot machines and one coin pusher machine, along with more than $3,500 in cash.

The Dog House, also on South Nova Road, saw eight slot machines and one coin pusher machine seized, along with $6,000 in cash. A similar notice to appear for “Keeping of a Gambling House and Possession of Slot Machines” was issued.

Lastly, the Port Hole on Herbert Street was the focus of the local police, and a third notice to appear for the same reason was issued alongside the law enforcement taking receipt of $15,500 in cash and six illegal slot machines.

“The Florida Gaming Control Commission is joining with other law enforcement agencies to stop illegal gambling in our state,” said Florida Gaming Control Commission Executive Director Alana Zimmer.

The FGCC has been busy across the latter half of 2025, as we reported multiple illegal gambling crackdowns, with a special focus on machine gaming in Fort Myers and Lee County.

In September 2025, the regulator, as part of a planned approach with the St. Petersburg Police Department, took down two illegal arcades.

From one premise, thirty illegal slot machines and gambling video game tables were captured alongside $15,654 in cash. Twenty-nine illegal slot machines, one video gambling table, and a reported $4,266 in cash were taken from the second location.

“These coordinated operations demonstrate the FGCC’s continued commitment to eliminating illegal gambling enterprises that undermine our regulated gaming industry and negatively impact Florida communities,” said L. Carl Herold, Director of Gaming Enforcement.
