When casino companies or their executives break the law or violate state gaming regulations in Nevada, consequences quickly follow.
The worst offenders can have their licenses suspended or revoked, but almost all wrongdoers end up paying fines, some of which can be multi-million dollar figures.
In most instances, the Nevada Gaming Control Board, working with the Attorney General’s Office, files a complaint against a licensee. Attorneys for the defendant then negotiate a settlement that the Nevada Gaming Commission must ultimately approve.
In rare cases, complaints against licensees are disputed and the commission instead acts as a judge and jury in a hearing.
