Blake Fitzgerald was put on probation for two years. He has another case still pending
Regulating casinos is one of several responsibilities for the state Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division.
A Twin Cities man has been sentenced in one of two cases that alleged he roamed two Minnesota casinos and played slots for gamblers who paid to have their bets placed, then watched live on TikTok in hopes of striking it rich.
Blake C. Fitzgerald, 40, of Farmington pleaded guilty in Scott County District Court to a gross misdemeanor charge of running a remote bookie business for at least four months until January 2023 while at Mystic Lake Casino in the Scott County city of Prior Lake or Treasure Island Resort & Casino near Red Wing in Goodhue County.
Fitzgerald was sentenced to two years' probation and fined $488. The terms of his probation include that he complete a gambling assessment and not commit similar gambling-related crimes. Should he abide by the the terms for the two years, the conviction will be reduced to a misdemeanor.
