DETROIT, Aug. 11, 2025 — The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) today announced that two Jackson County men have been sentenced in connection with an illegal gambling operation conducted at a business known as Spin to Win, located at 2816 E. Ganson Street in Jackson, Michigan.
Samir Naim Musharbash and Naim Samir Musharbash each pled guilty on April 1, 2025, to one felony count of Gambling Operations, a violation of Michigan’s gambling laws. On July 23, 2025, both were sentenced in Jackson County’s 4th Circuit Court to 24 months of probation. Each was also sentenced to 180 days in jail with no credit for time served; however, the jail time was suspended. As part of the sentence, they were ordered to pay $68 in state costs, $130 in crime victim rights fees, $150 in fines, a $60 DNA fee, and $150 in court costs. All items seized during the investigation were ordered forfeited.
The charges stem from an October 6, 2021, search warrant executed at Spin to Win following an investigation led by the MGCB’s Criminal Investigations Section. The warrant was carried out in partnership with the Michigan Department of Attorney General, the Blackman Township Department of Public Safety, and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
During the raid, investigators seized 17 standalone slot-style gaming machines and multiple computer towers and monitors used to facilitate internet-based slot-style games. Authorities also recovered $7,986 in cash.
“This case highlights the importance of coordinated law enforcement efforts to shut down illegal gambling operations that undermine the integrity of Michigan’s gaming laws,” said MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams. “We remain committed to protecting Michigan residents by enforcing regulations that ensure all gaming is fair, legal, and authorized.”
Also charged in the case was Spin to Win employee Kyle Schrotenboer, who pled guilty on March 10, 2025, to one count of Keeping a Gambling House. He was sentenced on May 14, 2025, to 90 days in jail, $75 in crime victim fees, and $500 in fines and costs.
