In the casino industry, everything is done according to very official processes. This is even the case for the destruction of slot machines deemed obsolete and that casinos no longer wish to use or resell to other gaming establishments.
The JOA casino in Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer followed this process from start to finish, sending 10 of its old slot machines to the scrapyard last July.
A truck with an articulated grab
To destroy a slot machine in compliance with current regulations, the casino must use the services of a professional scrapyard with a dump truck equipped with an articulated grab. Each slot machine must be seized and then carried inside the dump truck before being completely crushed . The destruction must be complete so that the machine can no longer be used at all.

An operation under surveillance
Before proceeding with the destruction of a slot machine, French casinos must first inform the gaming police, the body responsible for monitoring the activity of gambling establishments in France. The institution then sends a team on site to supervise the destruction . This team must, in particular, ensure that the machines are indeed destroyed and completely unusable .
In addition, the gaming police also collect the identification plates of each destroyed machine from the scene of destruction in order to record its removal from the circuit. Finally, the device’s processor (or CPU) is recovered by an approved technician duly mandated by the Ministry of the Interior.
In the case of the Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer casino, all these different stages were respected.

The establishment now offers a total of 73 slot machines on which visitors can try their luck.
