Of all the Nevada patron abuse cases over the last couple of decades, with the Board always refusing to do anything, often being begged to take enforcement action against the offending casinos, I wonder what made the Board finally decide to do something, as little as it will likely turn out to be.

Not an insignificant amount

I hope she will sue. The fine goes to the state, not to the victim.
I must admit I'm surprised at the amount of the fine. I expected the usual $25,000 or so. It'd be nice to see the miscreant employees get banned from the industry, but of course this never happens.

At least the owner didn't kill somebody, like in the old days of that corner. Still have good memories of the old place. But, I' love to see a serious penalty for illegal detention and extortion.

who gives a hoot about the poorly trained security guard losing his job and getting banned? Never happen to a front line employee unless the state could prove the actions involved deliberate wrong-doing. A better outcome would be an immediate shutdown while requiring the licensee to conduct an audit of procedures/training (with half the audit team consisting of external participants) followed by process/procedure changes that would be discussed at an open public meeting, followed by implementation of the get well plan - which would be reviewed by state inspectors. Then once the get well activities have been completed a public meeting between senior corporate mgmt and senior gaming board memebers to vote on allowing resumption of operations while on a period of heightened oversight. During the period of heightened oversight - would restrict gaming hours, liquor sales, and have two gaming agents on property during the gaming period. As the licensee demonstrates improved and sustainable improvements the restrictions would gradually be relaxed over an 18 month period (assuming continued good performance).
That ladies and gentlemen is how you enact a cultural change that would reverberate throughout the industry.

$200+ seems fairly insignificant to me from first story but I would sure pursue it with the Commission; not sure legal would think it was worth it but hey...........they are raising small claims limits in many jurisdictions.
Wonder if the fine, which IS sizeable, was or will be used to compensate her. It sure was heavy handed by The Fremont

The fine will go to the state. If the patron wants to be made whole she will need to sue. The fine from the Gaming Commission seems like a good indication of the serious of the malfeaseance by the casino and signiificance of their non-compliance with the gaming statues. I would assume the casino would settle with bob for a sum to get the issue behind them and avoid liability.
