Authorities have busted an illegal gambling operation at a Cherokee County restaurant.

Investigators told WAGA-TV that they found several gaming machines and cash when they raided the Buffalo House restaurant in Woodstock Friday afternoon.

The bust came after a two-month investigation. During the investigation, undercover officers were paid in cash for credits earned on the gaming machines. Detectives say they got reports of pay outs at the restaurant as high as $20,000.

Authorities arrested restaurant owner 51-year-old Chang Chun Wu of Acworth. He faces charges of commercial gambling and keeping a gambling place.
