Investigators took the machines out of bodegas, corner grocery stores and barbershops around the city of Trenton.
“They were basically slot style machines similar to what you’d see at a casino with digital screens," said Detective Lt. Katherine Cox, with Trenton police.
Almonte is being charged with maintenance of a gambling resort, possession of gambling devices and money laundering.
Businesses hosting the machines were given a summons.
