Rayong: Police top brass and governor pictured with gambling machines after crackdown

 

Picture: 77kaoded

 

The police in Rayong - where a Covid outbreak was linked to a casino - have responded with a crackdown on electronic gambling machines.

 

Provincial governor Charnna Iamsaeng and the region 2 chief Lt-Gen Weera Jirawira were all smiles as they joined other senior cops in front of police HQ.

 

Weera said it was high time that his men got tough and vice was cracked down upon.

 

A total of 55 machines including slot machines were on display and would be examined by the customs department.

 

Investigations were underway and 45 arrests had been made.

'were all smiles'

Is that wishful thinking as they're all wearing masks, or is it Rooster's humour shining through in the translation?

So it would be interesting to know how many policemen have been arrested.

Those machines look like they are well past their sell by date.

Being Thailand you have to wonder if this ancient stuff has been lobbed forward to divert attention away from the newer models undoubtedly out there, while allowing those in power to claim a victory.

A fair assumption that they are smiling. The machine in the middle has definitely been emptied.

It's very hard for the police to maintain the position that there were no gambling dens in Rayong whilst standing in front of 55 gambling machines in Rayong.

...and now it would be lovely to see the top brass with some cute prostitutes as well

They are probably wondering where to store them all until they are need next time.

Put the machines in ASQ for Chinese tourists. Another way to drain their money !

[kingstonkid 2,428]

Should show them in video smashing the machines.  Oops then they would not be able to use them in the new location.

And how many of them in the photo are crying behind their masks as their 2nd, sorry one of their 2nd incomes has been lost!!!!

They are probably all thinking the same:

I've got a nice little place for those...
