Nichelino's municipal police found two unauthorised slot machines in a bar during inspections on 30 October 2026. The machines breached minimum-distance rules for sensitive locations, and the checks resulted in administrative sanctions of almost 10mila euro, according to the report.
The operation was carried out on the evening of Friday 30 October 2026 by the commercial police unit of the Nichelino local police, the report said. Two unauthorised slot machines were found inside a bar, according to the report. The report said the administrative sanctions amounted to almost 10 thousand euros. The report added that the machines had been installed in breach of the minimum distances from so-called sensitive locations set by the regulations.
Officers from the commercial police unit of the Nichelino local police, in the province of Turin, carried out the checks in plain clothes. They inspected bars and betting shops, focusing on the protection of minors and on compliance with rules prohibiting the unlawful serving of alcoholic drinks. The bar where the machines were found had recently become a meeting point for many young people, the report said.
