(Crime) - Multi-Million Dollar Slot Machine Ring Uncovered With CEO Facing RICO Charges - Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Bill Gladson, alongside Florida Gaming Control Commission Director Carl Herold, announced the shutdown of a major illegal gambling operation that exploited seniors and laundered millions of dollars through fraudulent business activity. The investigation brought forth formal charges against three key defendants.

Investigation began in February 2025 after multiple complaints were made about IL Villagio Senior Entertainment Center in Lady Lake. Citizens described the facility as a “local version of the Hard Rock Casino.”
Undercover agents with the Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC) later confirmed the business was operating as an illegal gambling house with slot-style machines, not licensed games of skill, as county records had indicated.
On July 15, 2025, a search warrant was executed at the establishment, resulting in the seizure of 190 slot machines and $348,221 in cash. A second search at a Marion County warehouse uncovered additional machines.
The investigation revealed that between January 2023 and July 2025, more than $24 million flowed through accounts connected to the illegal enterprise. Much of the money was funneled through shell companies, wire transfers, and overseas accounts.
Nearly $3 million went directly into the personal account of the business’s CEO, 44-year-old Rima Ray, of St. Augustine, who reported less than $20,000 annually in income.
Ray was arrested on July 21, 2025, in St. Johns County on money laundering charges. She is now formally charged with:
Charges include RICO (Life Felony), Three counts of money laundering (First-Degree Felony), Keeping a Gambling House (Third-Degree Felony), Possession of slot machines.
Business manager 69-year-old Terrance Morgan, of Ocala, and assistant manager 67-year-old Barbara Buzzard, of Summerfield, were arrested on September 18, 2025, and face the same charges.

(Prediction Markets) - Investors Are Betting Big on ‘Prediction Markets’ Kalshi and Polymarket—Will the Gamble Pay Off? - Kalshi and Polymarket have been around for seven and five years respectively, but their big breakout came during last year’s U.S. presidential election campaign. Over the course of several months, millions of people convened on the platforms to wager more than $3 billion on the outcome, resulting in forecast that proved far more accurate than the most highly regarded polls. For the startups’ founders, this proved their thesis: that the platforms’ blend of crowdsourced wisdom and financial self-interest offers an unprecedented window into future events.
