The county sheriff's department (Contra Costa, California) here has done
the following in the past year:

[1]  Raided a dime-limit poker game at an old folk's home, confiscating
     the $7.?? pot and busting half-a-dozen participants;

[2]  Confiscated a child's toy slot machine, on the grounds that, even
     though it couldn't pay out, it still took money.
