AUGLAIZE COUNTY, OHIO — The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) today served search

our local law enforcement partners in holding accountable those who disregard Ohio’s gambling

laws.”

Warrants were served at the following locations:
Grand Luck Gaming in St. Marys.

The St. Marys and Wapakoneta Police Departments assisted in today’s operation, in which gaming
equipment, cash and documents were seized. No arrests were made, and the investigation is

ongoing.
