Nevada casinos are going to have to start treating players impaired by drugs the same way they do those intoxicated by alcohol.
That means casinos who allow players visibly impaired by drugs to continue to gamble or serve them complimentary alcoholic beverages, could face heavy fines.
The changes come after the five-member Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) officially amended its policy and regulations regarding intoxicated players earlier this month. Now, casinos will be subject to the same disciplinary standards for allowing players impaired by drugs to gamble as they are for allowing players intoxicated by alcohol to do the same.
