Despite ongoing vigilance, underground gambling rings still thrive across the state, with authorities working to dismantle them.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent raid near Orlando, the Lake County Sheriff\u2019s Office uncovered a small-scale gambling operation. Officers seized $48,200 in cash along with 125 illegal <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino\/learn-how-to-play-slots\/\">slot<\/a> machines at the site. The operation led to the arrest of three individuals managing the venue, who now face misdemeanor charges.<\/p>\n<p>Although this raid involved a smaller operation, it underscores the ongoing efforts of local authorities to combat illegal gambling. This bust is part of Florida\u2019s broader campaign to curb unauthorized gambling activities.<\/p>\n<h2>Major Operation in Jacksonville<\/h2>\n<p>While the Orlando-area raid focused on a smaller setup, a far more extensive operation was dismantled in Jacksonville. Dubbed the \u201cFish &#038; Chips\u201d investigation, this effort by the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office targeted a sophisticated gambling network spanning ten locations.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities arrested 12 individuals and seized a staggering 263 illegal gambling machines. The raid uncovered $2.5 million in cash, $1.7 million in luxury vehicles, and assets valued at an additional $1.2 million. This large-scale operation demonstrates the depth and organization of illegal gambling networks in the state.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
