Fine and a refund<\/h2>\n

The Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) has started the week by heavily fining one of its licensees and agreeing to a hefty tax refund for another.<\/p>\n

\n

failing to allow its agent access to a theater<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On Monday, the NGC hit Northern Nevada\u2019s biggest casino with $250,000 penalty for denying one of the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB)\u2019s agents access.\u00a0According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, <\/em>the NGC <\/em>fined <\/em>Grand Sierra Resort and Casino holding brand MEI-GSR Holdings LLC for failing to allow its agent access to a theater in the Reno resort owned by the Las Vegas Meruelo Group.<\/p>\n

Meruelo had the opportunity to challenge the complaint issued by the NGCB in October, but opted not to. <\/p>\n

Showing its nicer side, the NGC agreed on Monday to refund the Craig Estey-owned slot machine chain Dotty\u2019s over $3m in overpaid taxes.<\/p>\n

Happy tax story<\/h2>\n

Dotty\u2019s is a chain of 41 licensed casinos and slot machine parlors in Nevada, Oregon, Montana, and Illinois operated by Estey-owned Nevada Restaurant Services, Inc (NRSI).<\/p>\n

Dotty\u2019s parent brand originally submitted its settlement claim for overpaid taxes to the NGC asking for a refund of \u201c$3,120,197.28 plus interest of $222,744.12.\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n

\n

interest was accruing at a rate of about $446 a day\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In August, however, the NGC refused to pay the interest. It stated NRSI \u201ctook so long to file the claim and the interest was accruing at a rate of about $446 a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

While NRSI agreed to drop its interest claim, it subsequently discovered that it was eligible to file a claim for \u201ca refund for an additional two years of tax overpayments.\u201d<\/p>\n

NRSI is therefore ditching the interest claim and seeking an additional $1.8m tax refund from the NGC. According to media reports, NRSI\u2019s overpayments came from \u201cnot properly deducting wagered cashable electronic promotion amounts <\/a>from gross revenue of $46.9m,\u201d a rebate it was entitled to. <\/p>\n

In hot water again<\/h2>\n

Just as Dotty\u2019s legal team is getting more familiar with the NGC, so is Grand Sierra Resort\u2019s. The Commission\u2019s $250,000 fine on Monday is for the same agent entry violation Grand Sierra committed in January 2021.<\/p>\n

According to the settlement stipulation on Monday, however, the latest barred NGCB agent was denied entry to Grand Sierra for about six minutes. The agent was eventually allowed to enter the theater armed, but opted to leave after a \u201cdiscussion with security officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NGC asked Senior Deputy Attorney General Michael Somps why the NGCB agent was trying to access the resort\u2019s theater. In response, Somps prefaced that: \u201cboard agents have access to all portions of the premises of a gaming establishment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Somps added that what happens in non-gambling areas has an impact on Nevada\u2019s overall reputation and that of its gaming industry. The DA cited disciplinary measures taken by the NGCB against licensees \u201cfor events that happened in their nightclubs, which was off the gaming floor.\u201d<\/p>\n
