Regulators OK return of exec who lied about gambling habit

Thursday, March 17, 2005 | 10:02 a.m.

ATLANTIC CITY -- A former casino president banned from the business for lying about his compulsive gambling habit won the right to return Wednesday, with regulators congratulating him for beating the addiction that nearly ruined him but imposing strict conditions to keep help him stay clean.

Gary C. DiBartolomeo, 50, the nation's highest-ranking casino employee ever to admit to a gambling problem, was granted a casino employee license by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, which attached several strings to his return.

DiBartolomeo is a former $362,000-a-year president of Caesars Atlantic City Hotel Casino.
