From the Associated Press — Police raids have led to the seizure of more than $91,500 in cash and 82 gambling machines from two illegal storefront casinos in Lansing. The Lansing State Journal reports Wednesday that the raids followed an investigation by Michigan’s Gaming Control Board, the state Attorney General’s office and Lansing police. Most of the machines, including 28 slot machines and a virtual blackjack table, were removed Feb. 28 from a storefront in a shopping center. Thirteen full-size slot machines and seven other games were removed March 4 at the other storefront. Mayor Andy Schor said in a release that “unregulated, illegal gambling operations in Lansing invite crime” into city neighborhoods and business corridors.
