DEFIANCE — The owners of a chain of Internet cafes in Toledo, Defiance, Oregon, Findlay and Fremont have been indicted on multiple counts by a Defiance County grand jury for allegedly running an illegal gambling operation and breaking gaming laws.

Marvin Dabish, 38, Robert Dabish, 39, and Nadia Dabish, 59, all of Oregon, Ohio, were each indicted on 41 counts, according to a statement released today by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and Defiance County Prosecutor Morris J. Murray.

The defendants own Talk-N-Win Internet cafes, with locations in Toledo, Defiance, Oregon, Findlay, and Fremont. They allegedly built a network of gambling sites where patrons could play slot machines and were paid in cash for winnings.

The state’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation served warrants at each of those sites in December. They seized 140 electronic gaming terminals from the Toledo site at 213 Main St., and 335 additional terminals at the other locations, according to the Attorney General’s office.

The defendants are each accused of one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a second-degree felony; five counts of possessing criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony; 15 counts of violating casino gaming laws, a fifth-degree felony; 15 counts of gambling, a first-degree misdemeanor; and five counts of operating a gambling house, also a first-degree misdemeanor.
