Slot Machine Violations Lead to Fine

Century City is facing a $100,000 fine for accounting violations. The Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission also fined nine other slot machine casinos from $250 to $8,500 each, for revoked slot machine software. This is the second time Century City has been penalized since it opened five months ago.

The Gaming Division Director Ron Kammerzell said that the slot machine casino’s patrons had not been affected by the issues, but that it was more of an internal problem. At a public meeting of the regulatory panel, he said, "We had concerns about how the casino's business was being conducted.”

The casino had already been fined almost $90,000 for operating illegal slot machines, and this time they could not produce the required statistical reports upon request. The slot machine casino seems to be having troubles verifying their reported revenues, and the casino’s internal compliance officer lost his license as well. They posted $37 million in slot machine and gambling revenues for last year, but were unable to prove those figures.

The other casinos are in trouble as well, one casino, the Golden Gulch Casino, had 19 slot machines running with revoked software. The software on the slot machines is more of an internal matter, and Kammerzell said that it really has no bearing on the way people play the slot machines. It does not affect payouts, etc., so it wasn’t as though anyone who was playing the slot machines were penalized in any way.
