FLINT, MI – One hundred gambling devices, 62 gift cards of varying denominations, and more than $29,000 in suspected gambling profits have been seized from two alleged Genesee County storefront casinos last week, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).
The items were seized during raids that took place Wednesday, April 27, at The State Road Spot, 723 S. State Road, in Davison, and The Bristol Spot, 1374 E. Bristol Road in Burton.
Authorities said the raids followed a joint investigation by the Michigan Department of Attorney General and MGCB.
“Illegal gambling machine operations bring unwanted crime to communities across Michigan and deprive school districts of gaming tax revenue from the state to support education,” said Henry Williams, MGCB executive director. “The MGCB works to educate citizens and businesses about illegal gambling and to support state and local officials’ efforts to remove machines used illegally.”
Thirty-five machines – 12 full-size, standalone gaming machines and 23 gaming computer towers – were taken from The Bristol Spot. Sixty-five machines – 11 standalone gaming machines and 54 gaming computer towers – were seized from The State Road Spot.
The MGCB launched an investigation with the Department of Attorney General after receiving a tip about the Burton location, which led to the discovery of the affiliated Davison operation.
