“Underage gamblers usually get shown the door when they’re found gambling in Nevada. The punishment, if any, goes to the casino for not preventing it.
But now that’s changing. Don’t assume you’ll get a free pass if you’re caught gambling and you’re not 21.
Billy Dee Wallace, the underage Las Vegas man who tried to recoup his $600 loss at The Venetian by telling hotel officials he wasn’t old enough to gamble legally, is now being prosecuted on misdemeanor charges.
“The district attorney’s office approved prosecution,” said Gaming Control Board member Randall Sayre.
