"The arrest followed a months-long investigation into several illegal gambling operations in Sarasota County resulting in a search warrant for the "41 Social Club," an announcement from the sheriff's office alleges. During the warrant, a total of 66 slot machines, along with U.S. currency, were seized from the business. It has also been said that additional evidence located included a cease and desist letter from SCSO that was provided to the business in April 2025."
"This comes just a month after the Sarasota Sheriff's Department also announced it had arrested two women with allegedly running an illegal gambling house in the city. The arrests took place in December. At the time, a search warrant had been executed in collaboration with the Florida Gaming Control Commission, with 81 slot machines said to have been found at the arcade. These were then seized by Commission agents, along with the cash inside of them."
A 28-year-old woman, Taylor Swim, was arrested on January 28 and booked into the Sarasota County Correctional Facility on charges of keeping and maintaining a gambling house and possession of slot machines. The arrest occurred after a months-long investigation that led to a search warrant at the "41 Social Club." Authorities seized 66 slot machines and U.S. currency during the search and found a prior cease-and-desist letter issued in April 2025. The operation involved multiple Sarasota County Sheriff's Office units working with the Florida Gaming Control Commission. Law enforcement will continue efforts to shut down illegal gambling operations; the investigation remains ongoing.
