Weeks said most of the violation issues were due to accounting procedures. Ledge Meadows has hosted millionaire parties for the last seven years, about 350 parties overall, said Harold Weeks, co-owner of the golf course. Kelly was on probation from mid-February to mid-September last year for two state Bingo Act violations, which included unlawfully paying fees to Ledge Meadows and allowing a convicted felon to act as a dealer and floor manager at millionaire parties, the Journal reported. “The supplier repeatedly ignored state law, and his illegal actions show a lack of concern for the charities he was supposed to assist,” Kalm said in the news release. The MGCB said Kelly “acted as a pass-through agent for payments” to Ledge Meadows, the Journal reported.

“That has proven untrue.”ĭoug Kelly, owner of 1 Eyed Jack Gaming Supplies, L.L.C., has voluntarily surrendered his license. “Many people urged the MGCB to clean up millionaire parties, but they said we wouldn’t find any violations at Ledge Meadows Poker Room,” MGCB Executive Director Richard Kalm said in the release. State Gaming Control Board spokesperson Mary Kay Bean said the investigation into charity gaming at Ledge Meadows began in the spring, the Journal reported. State officials, the release said, determined Ledge Meadows was donating space for the games, when in fact it was accepting payments the state described as “gambling profits” from 1 Eyed Jack, the Journal reported. The MGCB said it discovered illegal payments between Ledge Meadows and supplier 1 Eyed Jack Gaming Supplies, LLC. The Ledge Meadows Poker Room in Grand Ledge, Mich., will no longer hold games, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) said in a news release.

The state has accused the owners of Ledge Meadows Golf Course of acting “like a casino” and accepting money for hosting charity gaming parties in the facility’s clubhouse, the Lansing (Mich.) State Journal reported. The supplier voluntarily surrendered its license. The club will no longer hold charity gaming parties, but no fines or charges are associated with the state’s findings. The Michigan Gaming Control Board said in a statement that it discovered illegal payments between the Grand Ledge, Mich., club and supplier 1 Eyed Jack Gaming Supplies.
