The illegal gambling machines appear to be innocuous video games, but are really machines that as the result of the insertion of any piece of money operate by chance and the operator receives something of value in return. The city in an effort to improve the quality of life of its neighborhoods created the Quality of Life Task Force to help eliminate illegal activities that take place in illegal cafeterias and other establishments.
