Casino vet’s license bid withdrawn

Monday, Oct. 25, 1999 | 11:27 a.m.

The Nevada Gaming Commission authorized the withdrawal of Howard's application to be licensed as chief operating officer and general manager of the River Palms in Laughlin.

At a meeting earlier this month of the commission's investigative arm, the state Gaming Control Board, Howard was hit with a denial recommendation because of concerns about business ties.

That included associations with a man who once gave a mob boss a free ticket to a New Jersey casino prize fight and allegedly laundered cocaine money.

Board members also said Howard was involved in a Mississippi-based company that illegally shipped slot machines to Michigan.
