Each state, in fact, each country has its own ways of dealing with illegal slot machine gambling. Some put the offenders in jail, some seize the slot machines and then put them in storage only to sell them at a later date to benefit the state, and some dump them down a hole in n the ground and press charges. South Africa would be one of the latter. 

Springbok, South Africa, is getting tough with their slot machine bandits. Through three recent raids, the police found three illegal slot machine parlors - and they weren’t pleased. They took the machines and are planning on arresting all of the people involved in the illegal slot machine business. 

Then they took the machines and dumped them down an old mine shaft. All in all there were 40 slot machines, and one by one they dumped them down the shaft. They though that this might keep people from spending their money on slot machines if they knew that once they were confiscated they would be dumped down the shaft.
