Eleven video slot machines, 56 computers authorities say were used for illegal gambling and more than $10,000 in suspected gambling proceeds and gift cards were seized by state investigators last week in raids at two Flint storefront casinos.

The raids took place Thursday, Aug. 18, at The Cellular Vault, 3301 Corunna Rd., and Cellular Bank, 4622 N. Saginaw St. The seized equipment and cash were removed as part of a joint investigation into the businesses by the Michigan Department of Attorney General and the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

“The MGCB received several anonymous tips regarding both Flint locations, and we thank the public for their help in rooting out possible illegal gambling activities,” said Henry Williams, MGCB executive director. “Patrons at alleged storefront casinos do not have access to the consumer protections required for legal, regulated gambling. The operations also can draw other types of crime to the surrounding neighborhoods.”
