The eleven "mini casinos" operated with 163 slot machines, in commercial premises of various sectors, together generating monthly profits of up to MX$2m (USD117,000). According to data from the research folder followed by the FGE, each slot machine has a cost ranging from MX$15 to 38 thousand (USD800 to 1900), although per unit it generates a monthly profit of up to MX$12,000 (USD700). , so the 163 devices generated that estimated profit of MX$2m.

The casinos were dismantled after a Control judge granted search warrants to the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) and the National Anti-Kidnapping Coordination (Conase), which deployed the operation simultaneously and with the support of agents from the Army, Guard National and Civil Guard (State Police).

In the case of Apatzingán, they were installed in popular neighborhoods, while in Buenavista Tomatlán, they operated in the municipal seat and in the towns of Santa Ana Amatlán and Pinzándaro. "It is presumed that these contributed to the finances of a criminal cell to which they would have left millionaire profits monthly," indicated the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP).

Organized crime

A source from the Civil Guard consulted by the local media Latinus revealed that in the Apatzingán Valley alone it is estimated that there are one hundred thousand slot machines that are owned by individuals, who for each one have to pay MX$150 (USD8) to the cartel. from "Los Viagras" and "El Barbas", who would obtain MX$15m (USD879,000) each month for this extortion.

Precisely, one of the groups that has interfered in the installation of this type of illegal machines is "Los Viagras", who in addition to participating in criminal activities such as extortion, hitmen and kidnapping, have also shown interest in these that they have established in the Michoacan state.

These machines generate an income of MX$600m (USD35m) per week, according to estimates by the General Directorate of Games and Sweepstakes. In addition, they must have authorization from the Ministry of the Interior to operate, since otherwise they are considered illegal. Likewise, the authorities indicate that organized crime is behind these businesses.
