ADRIAN, Mich. – State investigators executed a search warrant at Games 4 U, 2984 Treat Highway, Unit C, after a joint investigation by the Michigan Department of Attorney General and the Michigan Gaming Control Board, officials said Monday.

With assistance from the Madison Township Police Department, authorities seized 42 slot‑style machines, 10 computer‑based gambling machines, $8,715 in cash, and 20 gift cards believed to be connected to illegal gambling activity.

“The Michigan Gaming Control Board remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring compliance with all state gambling regulations,” Executive Director Henry Williams said in a statement. “We will continue to work diligently to identify and eliminate any illegal gambling activities that pose a threat to the integrity of the industry and the welfare of the public.”

The MGCB emphasized that all individuals connected to the investigation are presumed innocent until proven guilty and said it will allow the judicial process to proceed without prejudgment.

Michigan law broadly prohibits gambling outside of authorized channels. Businesses operating illegal gaming machines may face criminal charges, fines, or both under the Michigan Penal Code.
