Company Charged for Illegal Imports of Gaming Devices

Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro recently filed suit against a Wisconsin company, F.A.C.E. Trading, Inc., for allegedly selling pull-tab bingo tickets in Ohio without a license, and selling pull-tab bingo tickets to Ohio businesses and charities without licenses to operate the games. Petro asserted that the “ad-tabs,” pull-tab bingo cards with advertisements printed on one side, constituted gambling devices under Ohio law. The suit seeks to enjoin the company from importing additional cards into the state, and to recover proceeds from previous sales of the tickets in Ohio. Any monetary recovery would be disbursed to Ohio charities, according to the article.
