"Doll machine" becomes a "gold -sucking machine"?Crime is involved in casino!

Various cute dolls are spent on a few coins. This is already a common game on the streets. A variety of "doll machines" can be seen in shopping malls, convenience stores, and even corners of the street. But it is a rare scene around one or two machines' long lines.

There are six "doll machines" in Guangdong, which not only aroused customers to lined up, but also became a gold -sucking machine for the owner. What kind of "creativity" can these "doll machines" be magical? This sounds like "getting rich", but it is actually illegal and criminal.

In July 2020, Zhang bought six "Doll Machines" through the Internet, and replaced the toy dolls in the machine with a cigarette case. Each box of these cigarette boxes was marked with different scores. Zhang placed these machines that had become "hooding machines" at the entrance of three convenience stores in Baijia Town, Doumen District, Zhuhai, Guangdong for "business". According to the setting of the gameplay, the guest can invest 1 yuan or 2 yuan into the machine to get a chance to get a cigarette case. If you successfully pinch it, you can redeem cigarettes with equivalent value in the convenience store according to the score marked on the cigarette case, or directly exchange for cash by proportion. For example, when you get a cigarette case marked with "45 points", you can exchange a pack of real cigarettes with a price of 45 yuan in the convenience store. You can also exchange cash according to the ratio of the cigarette score. To 90 yuan.

After these three convenience stores were placed with these new gameplay machines, many customers were involved. The purpose of many customers to pinch the cigarette case is not to get the corresponding cigarettes, but to hope to exchange cigarette boxes with small blogs. In July 2021, Zhang was captured by the public security organs. The sixth stage involved in the "Doll Machine" involved in the case was inspected. The six gambling machines obtained more than 220,000 yuan in illegal income.
