A Bradenton bar owner could face up to five years in prison and $40,000 in fines over four slot machines that authorities say the establishment was operating without a license.

Pour Decisions Saloon and its slot machines were the subject of several undercover operations in March that came to a head on Wednesday, according to a spokesperson for the Bradenton Police Department, which executed a search warrant and raided the downtown business with help from the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. 

Four arcade-style slot machines were removed from the premises at 430 12th St., officials say.
