Casino Regulators Seek Coronavirus fines In 3 Nevada Cases

LAS VEGAS (AP) — State casino regulators are seeking fines against two casinos and a bowling alley in rural Nevada over requirements including a mandate for people to wear masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Wednesday it has 156 open investigations, but only three have been hit with complaints. C.O.D. Casino in Minden and the Hotel Nevada & Gambling Hall in Ely each declined requests for comment.

The owner of Bowl Incline at Lake Tahoe said he didn't know his bar was supposed to close July 10 until a gaming control agent visited on July 11.
