Mustang Sally’s has already lost its license, been fined and had one of its top employees lose her license, too, for making proxy bets on sports events. Now, the commission must decide how to handle another of the casino’s employees, Mathew Steinlicht, of Lead, who allegedly made bets for underage players during August 2022.

Steinlicht has already surrendered his gaming license and invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in the matter.
