Yep, back in the day around the Chicago area the juke boxes and pinball machines located in most taverns were indeed services provided by the mob. It was one of the better ways for them to launder money.Depending on the part of the country you're in, vending machines may be controlled by/extorted by organized crime. Pretty unpleasant thing to find out after you've purchased and tried to locate a machine or ten!
