Las Vegas NowNev. Gambling Regulators Add to State's Black Book
Nevada gambling regulators have permanently banned a convicted cheater from entering casinos in the state.
Nevada Gaming Commission Executive Secretary Brian Duffrin in Carson City said Thursday the panel unanimously approved Michael McNeive's inclusion in the state's "black book" of excluded persons.
McNeive became the 36th person on the current list. Duffrin says he did not appear at the commission hearing on a recommendation by the state Gaming Control Board.
McNeive pleaded guilty to having a cheating device at Harrah's Laughlin in 2001. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to trying to cheat a slot machine at a Rite Aid drugstore in Las Vegas.
The list dates to 1960, when regulators created it to combat organized crime.
