Passieu and Arrigo pleaded guilty in March.

Passieu was sentenced Monday to two years' probation. Arrigo received a one-year probation sentence.

Prosecutors say Arrigo accepted sports and numbers bets and sold tickets for the illegal ticket drawing game.

Prosecutors say Passieu and another person ran the illegal ticket drawing game.

Four other men pleaded guilty in March for their roles in the gambling ring.
