DEFIANCE, Ohio. (WOWO): A Defiance County Grand Jury has indicted three individuals from Oregon and Ohio, on charges of running illegal gambling houses.

38-year-old Marvin Dabish, 39-year-old Robert Dabish, and 59-year-old Nadia Dabish were each indicted Friday morning on 41counts including:

* Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity, a felony of the second degree (1 count)

* Violations of Casino gaming Laws, a felony of the fifth degree (15 counts)

* Gambling, a misdemeanor of the first degree (15 counts)

The defendants are the owners of Talk-N-Win Internet cafes in Defiance, Toledo, Oregon, Findlay and Fremont. Together they allegedly created a network of gambling houses in which people could play slot machines and winnings were paid in cash.

In December 2014, several law enforcement agencies served search warrants at the five Talk-N-Win locations and seized electronic gaming terminals at all of the cafes.
