Police close copy store over alleged PC gambling

Police shut down a California copy store Thursday for allegedly hosting illegal electronic gambling, Fox 40 reported. 

Authorities reported finding 29 computers lining the walls of Copy Planet in Sacramento, but no copy machines, according to the station. 

Investigators told the station that customers could go to a cash window, purchase a card and then use that card to gamble at one of the computers inside the store.

Police began investigating the store after receiving phone calls complaining of increased foot traffic in and out of the building at odd hours. 

Law enforcement officials allege the owners were bringing in between $600 to $1,500 a day from the gambling.
