286 horse-gambling machines seized in Bangkok

[Thai at Heart]

What the hell is a horse gambling machine?

They are a game like the old pinball machines that were prior to online games. You put a coin in and for fun pick a horse if the horse wins you win a free game and it goes on.

Wow high stakes stuff. So its a pinball or bagatelle thing and nothing to do with horses.

286 are seized and other 286 000 are working well.

Yes, and I guess before these machines were working in top secret

Big show-business from police, may be they just sold them last month to the owner who failed to pay in time for them.

Thanks, I was wondering – not being a gambler – as the photo looked like innocent pinball machines…

However, if you only acn win another “free game” hard to understand that’s illegal gambling…?

And there was I thinking that you had to feed it with hay instead of coins - and then stand well clear when it made a loud neighing sound meaning that you had just won the (faecal) jackpot

Gambling is illegal in Thailand.

I think the Thai horse race is purely a sport.

Making Gambling Legal eliminates all the other Illegal Operations. It also provides some assurance that the Games are not rigged as they can be inspected and have the watchful eye on them from the Government, which the house needs to maintain fare practises to keep there Gambling License

Build a Modern Casino in Pratts, with a nice Hotel Attached and watch the Chinese Tourist Flock to this area then. If you are afraid of Corrupting a Thai you can make it Passport Entry Only! So other than Thai Workers open to Farangs Only. I saw that in Poland in the early days, where only I could go in with 1 Guess (Polish) but otherwise they were not allowed in. Seemed to work their!

Now if I only had about 10 Million Dollars plus Bank Loans. and Influence in the Thai Government, it could be done. .

yeah, the police could never locate those machines before huh ... maybe they own them or the "concession" on it ...

hope they will destroy them in public, bulldozer style
