    Court accepted guilty plea as mitigating but gave limited discount because offence involved seven gambling machines, lacked licence, and public interest required deterrence; consequently court imposed minimum statutory fine of RM10,000 per machine (total RM70,000) with default imprisonment and an immediate custodial sentence of 18 months from date of arrest, plus a fine for the secondary charge and order for disposal of exhibits after appeal period.
