Gambling Control Board approves routine transfers, expenditures and a $300 citation for B52 Burgers & Brew
Summary
The board approved multiple exhibits including transfers of gambling funds, property and capital expenditures, contribution transfers and license terminations, and approved a $300 citation for B52 Burgers & Brew (Site No. 19) for a repeat electronic pull-tab house-rule posting violation; the director recused herself from that citation.
The Gambling Control Board cleared a slate of routine exhibits and administrative requests during its May 18 meeting, approving transfers of gambling funds to organizations, property and capital-asset expenditure requests, contributions to other licensed gambling organizations and license termination plans by voice vote.
Board members moved quickly through the consent items. A brief staff report on a Minneapolis police-related compliance report drew a board member's praise as "very well done" and easy to read. Multiple items noted no further discussion and were approved by voice vote.
On a separate administrative citation, staff introduced a repeat violation discovered during a site inspection at B52 Burgers & Brew (Site No. 19). Director Leah Wade said the violation—no posted, signed house rule for electronic pull-tabs—was a repeat from March 14, 2025. Wade recused herself from the citation because she is associated with the related group and asked the full board to consider the matter for transparency. The board approved the recommended $300 citation by voice vote.
The transcript records voice approvals and "motion carries" but does not list roll-call tallies or individual votes for these items. The board also briefly approved manufacturer game recommendations and other administrative matters without extended debate.
The board announced no further action on these routine items and proceeded to new business.
