Bob’s answer about the Colorado case seems completely wrong. Although it may play well to this particular audience, it just seems like he’s talking complete crap. In Colorado, the State requires licensees to report when this happens. It has nothing to do with the casinos “arrogance”. There was a lot of arrogance to do with this answer but it had nothing to do with the casinos or the gaming officer involved. They were following the state’s rules or laws. they are required to do this as a condition or their license and the gaming officer takes an oath to uphold these laws. There have been many prosecutions (or pleas) under this under both republican and democrat AG’s all of whom have found this law enforceable. One of whom went on to serve in the cabinet as Security of the Interior.
The casinos hate this rule. Its expensive terrible publicity and they would love to get it changed but have had no success. So they are stuck with enforcing it.
As for the Romanski case; didn’t that happen in Detroit where there is no such law requiring the casinos to take action and no law that says claiming credits, tito tickets etc is theft.
