The state gambling laws oblige riverboats to check the casino equipment such as roulette wheels, slot machines etc. and to take part in the statewide exclusion program, established by those who are trying to stop gambling. In addition, Casinos must also follow the state regulations that prohibit cashing checks or receiving any payments for a jackpot from excluded patrons.
The Caesars Indian Casino has violated state laws in 10 instances when marketing material was sent to individuals who appeared on the list, which excluded them from the state riverboats. Another violation which will cost dearly to Caesar managers, involved pit boss’s negligence to check on a daily basis each roulette wheel it terms of the proper balance and free spinning.
The investigation revealed that only once or twice a month such an inspection took place and 10 roulette tables in 18 boats were left to their own self. For these violations Caesars casino was fined $50,000 and its failure to conduct appropriate inspection procedures for changing decks of playing cards, resulted in additional $2,500 penalty. The Harrison County Casino turned itself in for the self-exclusion violations, which substantially lowered the fine to a $30,000.
