Doomed Arcade Machines In China
September 22, 2010 8:00 AM | Eric Caoili
New magazine Time posted this in its "Pictures Of The Day" online collection, a photo showing dozens of arcade cabinets, slot machines, and pachinko units confiscated in China's in Jinan, Shandong province. There's a single worker moving around the machines somewhere in that image, too.
Time says that local police recovered the games as part of its anti-gambling operations. They were apparently used for gambling and were destroyed -- leaving our world with around 600 less arcade/slot/pachinko machines.

That picture is super depressing! :( I'd give my gall bladder to have a Candy Cab!

An interesting link embedded in a poorly-written post. I know you guys are busy and I appreciate the free content (cool image!) but please try to be more stringent about editing.
