"The attorney general of Pennsylvania announced on Monday (February 9) that a Schuylkill County novelty game company has admitted guilt in what prosecutors describe as a sweeping illegal gambling operation that reached far beyond its home base. At the center of the case is Deibler Brothers Novelty Company, which authorities say placed and operated hundreds of unlawful video gambling machines across large parts of the state."
"In Schuylkill County Common Pleas Court, the company pleaded guilty to corrupt organizations, a first-degree felony. Under the plea agreement, Deibler Brothers was placed on probation and ordered to forfeit $3 million in cash and other assets to the Commonwealth. Officials say the forfeiture is one of the larger penalties tied to Pennsylvania's enforcement actions against illegal video gaming."
Deibler Brothers Novelty Company pleaded guilty to corrupt organizations, a first-degree felony, after investigators said the company installed and operated hundreds of illegal video gambling machines across large parts of Pennsylvania. Under the plea agreement, Deibler Brothers was placed on probation and ordered to forfeit $3 million in cash and other assets to the Commonwealth, one of the larger forfeitures tied to state enforcement against illegal video gaming. Attorney General Dave Sunday said the company ignored repeated warnings and flooded counties with unlawful machines. The case resulted from a multi-year investigation involving Pennsylvania State Police, the Attorney General's Office, and the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement.
