The Nevada Gaming Control Board may draft a regulation that would address whether customers kicked out of a casino could collect winnings if they sneaked back in, played and won.
The issue involving trespassed players winning jackpots was fresh in board members’ minds Wednesday after they on Oct. 4 voted 2-1 to uphold paying gambler Rhon Wilson a $2,045.18 jackpot he had won at Casablanca hotel-casino in Mesquite. The casino disputed payment, citing that Wilson had been ordered out of the casino for theft and shouldn’t have been there.
Dick Tomasso, vice president of security and government affairs for Mesquite Gaming LLC, owner of the Casablanca, at the time told the board Wilson had been trespassed from the casino seven times after failing to pay for a drink.
