All these comments assume that 30 million is _all_ the mob has made with these machines, and that the tech must be very expensive.
Usually when they pull out the big piles of drugs for the TVs, I assume that's the tip of the iceberg. So why is it that here, with four families involved, we think the only money they've made is what's been shown to us?
Also, x-ray tables, rigged card shufflers, and funny glasses don't necessarily sound like they're the most expensive things in the world.
So my guess is...
Combined with these fellas other hustles this was probably a nice chunk of change to bring in for a relatively low amount of work post initial set up. I mean, you're sitting around playing rigged poker with a bunch of millionaires and basketball players or whatever. Probably having some drinks, I'd imagine there's pretty ladies around, cigars, cocaine. Whatever.
Sounds more relaxing than extorting deli owners block by block like all those movies about the 70s show.
And the best part? The people you're robbing are probably much less likely to resort to violence as recourse.
