The Nevada Gaming Commission has released the minutes from its June meeting. The Commission issued fines to two local gaming businesses, Tahoe Nugget and S&P Gaming. Tahoe Nugget operates Jim Kelley’s Tahoe Nugget and S&P runs The Watering Hole.
According to the report, complaints were filed against Jim Kelley’s Tahoe Nugget and The Watering Hole for “employee compliance issues” and “failure to notify regulators of changes in ownership interests” respectively.
The Commission settled with both licensees by issuing $2,000 fines for “unstable methods of operation.” Commissioners voted unanimously on both matters.
The agreements ordered Tahoe Nugget and S&P to pay the fines, waive the rights to a hearing and admit to the allegations, according to the meeting minutes.
The Commission also approved final licenses for Jett Gaming, doing business as Terrible’s Gaming, to operate 450 new slot machines that were recently installed at 30 Albertsons grocery store locations throughout Nevada.
According to a local report, Albertsons representatives waived the right to appear and did not explain why a change in licensing was made. The commission’s approval followed a recent decision by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which recommended licensing that allows Jett to service all 450 machines as the new slot-route operator.
As part of the approval process, the Idaho-based store chain had to provide schematic illustrations, as well as show the technology it uses to safeguard against illegal and underage play as part of its negotiation with Jett. Albertsons requested 30 separate restricted licenses that allow for up to 15 slot machines per store, all of which the Commission approved.
