Three South Australian men accused of killing a man after he won $6,000 on the pokies have been found guilty of manslaughter.
Mt Gambier man Gordon Hamm, 34, was last seen in the town of Nelson in Victoria's far south-west on July 17 last year.
His body has never been found.
Victorian detectives had travelled to Mt Gambier and arrested and extradited the three men.
Mark James Moreland, 37, Christopher Nathan Tippens, 30, and Tai Thorp, 22, all of Mt Gambier, were charged over the death.
A Victorian Supreme Court jury on Friday found each of them guilty of manslaughter.
They have been remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a later date.
