twitterRegulators fine resort $140,500
Thursday, July 19, 2001 | 11:04 a.m.
ATLANTIC CITY -- Tropicana Casino and Resort was fined $140,500 Wednesday for three gambling law violations, including one in which it mistakenly returned a $20,000 marker to a gambler without his redeeming it.
The latter stemmed from a June 13, 1999 incident in which an unidentified gambler used $30,000 in casino chips to redeem a marker in that amount.
During the transaction, however, a cage cashier inadvertently returned a counter check for $20,000 to the gambler along with the $30,000 counter check he did redeem, according to Deputy Attorney General Beverly Tanenhaus, the prosecutor in the case.
The state Casino Control Commission fined Tropicana $90,000 for sloppy record keeping and violations of the casino's own internal accounting policies.
