Daegu police have been on a crackdown fenzy this year and have investigated as many as 278 adult game rooms. As gambling is illegal, the game rooms are technically legally, as the slot machines only spit out tokens. The problem with police is that most of these game rooms have a money changer in the back who changes the tokens for cash. Amongst the game rooms investigated, police have busted 136 money changers and a total of 717 customers and owners involved in gambling.
