Michigan - MGCB helps close illegal operation Following a joint investigation by the Michigan Department of Attorney General and the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB), state investigators executed a search warrant at the Red Horse Bar, located at 4780 State Street in Saginaw. Assisted by the Michigan State Police, authorities confiscated six slot-style gaming machines along with $2,820 in gift cards and $5,161 in suspected gambling proceeds from the location, Red Horse Bar in Saginaw, Mich.
Following an investigation into a citizen’s tip, it was determined that illegal gambling was taking place at the Red Horse Bar. Despite the issuance of a cease- and-desist letter by the MGCB, the owners, Christopher and Nicholas Adams, failed to comply, leading to the raid that took place on June 5. The defendants were arraigned on felony gambling charges on June 6, and a preliminary exam will follow.
