Md. Restaurant Raid Turns Up 8 Slot Machines

PORT DEPOSIT, Md. (AP) ― The Cecil County Sheriff's office says a raid on a Port Deposit-area restaurant turned up eight slot machines and the owner is facing gambling related charges.

Sheriff's office spokesman Lt. Bernard Chiominto says deputies and Comptroller's Office agents raided Jumbo Jimmy's on Route 222 on Friday and seized cash and receipts for payouts and removed the machines.

Chiominto says agents visited earlier this year and saw an employee pay off a machine after a customer acquired a large amount of points.

Owner William Barton faces eight counts each of keeping a gaming table and knowing and permitting the use of a gaming table and one count each of permitting the use of a gaming table and keeping a table for the purpose of gambling.
