Three people arrested during a police operation in Kallithea, an illegal casino was located in an apartment building.
The gaming establishment was well protected – an armored door that could be opened only with a button, a lot of surveillance cameras and even observers who gave a danger signal if the police appeared. It was located on the first floor of an ordinary apartment building. The illegal casino was equipped with roulette tables and green felt tables, as well as more than 60 computers.
