The Palms Resort and Casino is now again on trial but this has still something to do with the trouble it faced way back in 2007. According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Nevada Gaming Commission ordered the resort casino to pay a $75,000 fine because of the problem that arose 2 years ago. In 2007, the hotel-casino failed to properly oversee two poker tournaments that were organized then by third-party company at its property. The hotel-casino is also ordered to pay $25,000, an addition, to cover the investigation costs.
In 2007, Micheal Eakman & Associates organized tournaments at the Palms Resort and Casino for the benefit of the Jewish Community Center of Southern Nevada. It actually took four months before the company was able to pay its 25% charity share and eventually failed to give the winners their complete prizes.
George Maloof, the owner of Palms Resort and Casino, claimed that the hotel-casino contacted the State regulators immediately after the problems were discovered and paid the prize money awarded in one of tournaments by United States Poker League still in 2007. It paid $450,416 in unpaid prize money.
However, the Control Board still accepted a complaint by the state attorney general’s office though Palms Resort and Casino paid the tournament winnings in full. In the complaint, it was explained that “the Palms Resort hosted the tournaments without adequate planning and follow-up and failed to prevent a situation that might reflect negatively on the state and Las Vegas casino industry”.
But then, Palms Resort and Casino realized in a way, that some obligations are for the hotel-casino to fulfill. Thus now, it agrees to be more involved in the future tournaments for which it is a part and set up new and more effective security procedures and policies so to be competent enough in hosting events.
