(WBRE/WYOU) — Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the seizure of more than 400 alleged illegal gambling devices from multiple establishments in western Pennsylvania.
Charges have been filed against two companies, Buffalo Skills Games, Inc., and J.J. Amusement, Inc., which are both owned and operated by John F. Conley, who the attorney general says has prior federal convictions for illegal gambling.

According to the attorney general, Pennsylvania State Police assisted the Office of Attorney General Gaming Enforcement agents in a series of seizures in March at bars, gas stations, and convenience stores in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Cambria, Crawford, Indiana, Somerset, Venango, Erie, Washington, Armstrong, and Westmoreland counties.
”These devices were essentially slot machines dressed up as skill games,” Attorney General Sunday said. “I commend our partners at the Pennsylvania State Police for helping disband a large-scale operation that netted a tremendous amount of illegal gambling profits.”
