Rigged slot machines with reset card found in Cammarata and San Giovanni Gemini scam

Explain to me briefly the following article:

A sophisticated system to cheat slot machines and defraud the state of about 5,000 euros per day for each device: the carabinieri of the Cammarata company, with the collaboration of Customs personnel, found slot machines in Cammarata and San Giovanni Gemini in which two motherboards were installed: one legal and one illegal.

The illegal one, cleverly hidden, was able to interrupt the telematic flow of accounting data, resetting winnings and generating illicit profits for the owners of the premises. A remote control in their possession allowed them to switch from one motherboard to the other, making it impossible for the Monopoly to monitor actual gaming operations. The operation led to the seizure of 6 slot machines, 12 motherboards, 6 antennas, 2 conversion devices, 4 remote controls, and approximately 5,000 euros in coins of one and two euros, a sum considered proceeds of illicit activity.

The owners of 4 bars and gaming rooms and a company owner concessionaire of the supply and installation of slot machines were reported in freedom to the public prosecutor’s office of Agrigento for aggravated fraud against the state, computer fraud, embezzlement, and illegal interception and interruption of computer and telematic communications. Administrative fines were also issued totaling 300,000 euros.
