The Casino Control Commission on Wednesday approved the closing of an $875,000 account dedicated to the cashing in of chips from the former Playboy Hotel and Casino.

In July, the state Division of Gaming Enforcement ruled the account should be closed. In order for the closure to go into effect, the commission had to approve the matter.

Gaming regulators were made aware that the account was still open when a person tried to redeem chips recently, officials said.

“Sufficient time has passed for actual Playboy patrons to have redeemed any gaming chips and/or (slot) tokens owned by Playboy,” James Plousis, chairman of the Casino Control Commission, said during the meeting.
