A Florida sheriff continues his crackdown on illegal gambling operations.

An adult arcade on Hutchinson Island was raided by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office on Thursday afternoon.

Two people were arrested at the Beach Side Social Club and Sheriff Ken Mascara says 20 machines were seized.

He posted a video on Facebook from the business, in which he explained that Beach Side was conducting illegal activity.

"This is an illegal operation. I just want to make that perfectly clear. Why? Because money goes to the front desk. It goes digitally back to the machine and when a win occurs, they go to the front desk and collect their money. That is called gambling."

Just last month two other arcades were raided in St. Lucie County and Mascara says there will be another raid next week.
