Speaking of trespassing, Massachusetts Gaming Commission is having a new twist "I have been engaged and also reading up on the new rules/regulations for what to expect in 11 months". When a casino trespasses someone, the casino will be required "under a time restraint" to notify the MGC who will give the trespassed person a chance to defend themselves and request a hearing. Bottom line many players will not request the hearing as they had little chance of winning in a no win situation and will end up on a MGC state exclusion list, "not the same list as a self exclusion list" and they will notify you and the casinos. If you ignore the ruling, and subsequently are later caught gaming in a Mass casino they will not cash your chips, slot vouchers etc and these confiscated money's will be turned over to the commonwealth and end up dispersed into the Mass gaming revenue fund, supposedly. Below is some of this from the MGC web site.
"152.08: Forfeiture of Winnings(1) An individual who is on the excluded list shall not collect any winnings or recover lossesarising as a result of prohibited gaming in a gaming establishment and such winnings shall beforfeited to the commission and deposited into the Gaming Revenue Fund pursuant toM.G.L. c. 23K, §§ 45(j) and 59.(2) Upon verification that an individual who is present in its gaming establishment is on theexcluded list, a gaming licensee shall take steps to
