During the operation, authorities intervened eight commercial establishments located in different parts of Mocoa.
Colombia.- Coljuegos led an operation against illegal gambling in the city of Mocoa, in the department of Putumayo, with the support of the National Police. The result of the raid was the seizure of a total of 149 illegal gambling items.
After the operation, Marco Emilio Hincapié, president of Coljuegos, said: "We are reaching all territories to combat illegality. For the first time in history, there are no forbidden territories for the entity. Therefore, we will continue to strengthen inter-institutional work to keep protecting health resources."
The electronic slot machines and modules for innovative games would have failed to transfer about COP23.244m (USD5.5m) to health in recent years.
Of the total items seized, 143 are televisions, monitors, CPUs, ticket machines, among others, which were used to operate games on illegal platforms like Megantx.com. Even, in these establishments, bets were placed on cockfights and horse and greyhound races, according to Coljuegos.
Also, the inventory of seized items includes six electronic slot machines, valued at COP12m (USD2,800), some of which did not even have a manufacturing serial and operated clandestinely in homes and commercial establishments.

"As the National Police, we are fully committed to continue working hand in hand with Coljuegos and conducting controls in the municipalities of the department to prevent the operation of illegal games," said Lieutenant Colonel Héctor Ramírez, deputy commander of the Departmental Police of Putumayo.
It is important to highlight that this is the third operation carried out by Coljuegos in the southwest of the country during the last week. In addition to Putumayo, control activities reached the municipalities of Chachagüí and La Unión in Nariño, and Cali, Valle del Cauca.
A charitable initiative linked to the game Ronaldinho Crash by FBMDS will be presented at the expo from October 8 to 10.
Press release.- FBM Digital Systems (FBMDS) and FBM Foundation are joining forces to organize a special charitable initiative linked to the game Ronaldinho Crash by FBMDS at this year's Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas. From October 8 to 10, visitors at booth 2848 will have the opportunity to participate in a Keepy-Uppy challenge, designed to help needy communities while promoting the spirit of solidarity.
The initiative invites attendees to demonstrate their soccer skills in a simple yet meaningful way: for each Keepy-Uppy (touch) that a participant successfully completes in the latest game Ronaldinho Crash, the FBM Foundation will donate a dollar to support vulnerable communities around the world. These donations will be made to people affected by natural disasters, children in need of educational resources, and other vulnerable groups.
This is the first participation of the FBM Foundation in an international casino gaming fair, and choosing G2E Las Vegas for its debut was no coincidence. "Choosing a stage like the Global Gaming Expo was the right step to show the Group's willingness to make a difference in the world, sharing its charitable footprint with a broader and more diverse audience of casino gaming enthusiasts, casino operators, players, and industry professionals," said the company.
Renato Almeida, director of the FBM group, stated: "We believe in the power of uniting for a greater purpose. This initiative not only highlights the spirit of teamwork that defines FBMDS, but also allows us to showcase the work of the FBM Foundation and our commitment to having a positive impact on the world with the help of G2E Las Vegas."
FBM Foundation has long been dedicated to supporting causes that promote education, community development, and relief efforts for those affected by crises in the Philippines, Brazil, and other countries. "Through this challenge, FBMDS and FBM Foundation aim to inspire action and demonstrate how collective efforts, whether on the field or off, can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most," said Vítor Francisco, representative of the FBM Foundation.
The game Ronaldinho Crash is one of the latest releases from FBMDS, featuring the global football legend Ronaldinho Gaúcho in an exciting crash game experience. The game, which was officially launched during the Copa América and will be available for testing at the fair, is already captivating crowds in multiple countries around the world.
