As New Jersey legislature began preparing to debate a bill to do away with full-time casino inspectors, which would result in significant savings for casinos, state regulators handed out $115,000 in fines to Atlantic City.

Tropicana Casino and Resort paid a $40,000 fine for failing to properly monitor blackjack tables where a dealer colluded with a player to steal over $21,500 within a 21 week time frame in early 2009. According to casino gambling news, the scam was uncovered by an observant player at the table who remembered the same blackjack dealer consistently overpaying a particular player on winning hands and rarely taking away the player’s chips on loosing hands. Casino security became aware of the scam after being contacted by the observant player and began to closely monitor and record the suspected dealer. After being confronted with irrefutable evidence recorded on multiple casino security tapes, the dealer quickly confessed and was immediately arrested.
