“Mr. Melocchi’s machines could be found in Allegheny, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties, the presentment said.  Operating out of a location in an alley behind a Glassport coffee shop, Mr. Melocchi placed the devices in various businesses and allegedly struck deals with the owners to split gambling proceeds.  Video gambling machines are illegal if patrons pay to play, use more chance than skill to win, and are paid off.  Business owners told the grand jury that they earned between $75 and $1,000 a week from the devices.”
