Frequently Asked Questions
If a Nevada casino refuses to pay your winnings, you have options. First, ask to speak with the Shift Manager and request a written explanation. Second, file a complaint with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) — the NGCB has the authority to investigate and order payment of valid jackpots. Third, a Peccole Ranch gaming law attorney can review the casino's justification, Nevada gaming regulations under NRS 463, and pursue legal action if the refusal was improper. The NGCB complaint process is free but an attorney can accelerate resolution.
Nevada maintains the Excluded Persons List ('Black Book') under NRS 463.151, which permanently bans certain individuals from all licensed Nevada gaming establishments. The Nevada Gaming Commission can add individuals for organized crime connections or conduct contrary to gaming law interests. Separately, individual casinos maintain internal exclusion lists — persons they have banned from their properties. A Peccole Ranch gaming law attorney can challenge an exclusion list placement or assist with removal petitions after the required waiting period.
Nevada gaming licenses under NRS 463.160 require extensive background investigation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, financial disclosures, personal history questionnaires covering the past 10+ years, fingerprinting, and an investigation of all business associates. The process for a non-restricted license (more than 15 machines or any table games) can take 12–18 months and cost tens of thousands in investigation fees. A Peccole Ranch gaming law attorney familiar with the NGCB application process can guide applicants and address potential issues before they become problems.
Nevada is one of the few states where casino credit ('markers') are legally collectible debts. Under NRS 463.368, casino markers are treated like bad checks — failure to repay can result in criminal bad check charges (NRS 205.130). Casinos can sue to collect unpaid markers in civil court, and large unpaid markers can result in criminal prosecution by the Clark County DA. A Peccole Ranch gaming law attorney can negotiate settlements on casino markers before criminal charges are filed.
