Uganda gaming regulator destroys 409 illegal gambling machines
Uganda’s National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board said it destroyed more than 409 pieces of gambling equipment on 12 and 13 February 2026, following a court order. The items included 160 slot machines, 112 fish tables and 137 sacks of spare parts seized from unlicensed operators. The board said cash recovered from the machines was transferred to the Consolidated Fund.
The enforcement action removes seized equipment used by unlicensed operators from Uganda’s gambling market.
