After ordered a casino to pay a serial trespasser a slot jackpot he won, the Nevada Gaming Control Board is considering changing its policy.
Nevada regulators are working to address a policy question that was brought to light this month when a Mesquite casino was required to pay a jackpot to a player who was banned from the property.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board sided with banned gambler Rhon Wilson in a patron dispute. He had a long history of trespassing.
A patron dispute involving Casablanca Resort was the centerpiece of a discussion of whether players kicked out of a casino, but sneak back in should keep winnings.
The decision awarding the gambler a jackpot worth over $2,000 is likely to set off a regulatory review of whether trespassed players should be paid.
