Seriously a Dealer Can't Recognize A 15 Year Old?

in Atlantic City


Bally’s and Caesars in Atlantic City were recently fined for allowing underage gamblers in their casinos.  Bally’s had to pay $55,000 because they let a 15 year old boy play roulette while Caesars was fined just $30,000 for letting a 20 year old girl play blackjack.

Bally’s Atlantic City was fined $55,000 by the state Casino Control Commission for allowing the teenager to play roulette in June 2008. The boy was caught on the casino floor by state gaming investigators who suspected he was under the legal gambling age of 21.

In the second case, Caesars Atlantic City paid a $30,000 fine for failing to catch a 20-year-old woman who won $8,500 while playing blackjack in January 2006. Just three weeks earlier, she had been arrested for underage gambling at another casino.

I understand that casinos can’t catch all underage gamblers, but a 15 year old boy seems to be easy to notice.  The 20 year old girl is almost as comical as she took Caesars for $8,500!  That’s a hot streak.  Way to go security.
