Police said one of the men remained at the door while the other two walked over to the gaming machines. One suspect pulled out a long metal prying bar and started to pry open the machine in order to access the money drawer while the other suspect walked up to an employee standing behind the counter and threatened to kill him if he did not give him everything in the cash register.
All three suspects then fled the scene with cash retrieved from the machines and the register.
The suspects were all believed to be between 20 and 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, and weighing from 180 to 200 pounds. They all were wearing all black.
