Brazil police clamp down on claw machines
Rio de Janeiro police targeted several claw machines across the city on Wednesday, saying they are games of chance - like slot machines - and therefore illegal.
Officers confiscated machines, laptops, tablets, cell phones, a firearm and even stuffed animals.
They are investigating whether organised crime groups are involved in running these machines.
In an earlier raid in May, police seized some 80 machines, which they later found were only allowing customers to win after a fixed number of attempts.
