Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel in Long Island, New York, is fighting more than two dozen state violations for allegedly employing people without a standard gaming license.

In a Dec. 15 email addressed to Suffolk Regional Off-Track Betting Corp. CEO Phil Boyle, the New York State Gaming Commission (NYS Gaming Commission) listed nine employees without a license and 25 who had either an expired or incorrect type of license, according to records obtained by Newsday through a Freedom of Information Law request.

Employees are required to have a gaming license to work at a casino to help maintain the integrity of the gambling operation. Those convicted of felonies and gambling-related misdemeanors can be denied a license, according to the NYS Gaming Commission.
