It's simply because it's a casino. If it was anywhere else, the guy would be in jail. Casinos are great at lining the political pockets of all the local shot callers, regardless of locale. The casino doesn't want some anti-gambling politician running against the incumbent to be able to point to crime statistics regrading the casino and be able to say "look at the element Pol X brought into our community!", and the cops always know where their bread is buttered.
Casinos get away with shit that no other business entity would ever even try, because they have that much sway. It's the reason a Peter DC never gets a beat down in a casino. If you see him in a 7/11, you take your shot and roll the dice that they won't catch you. In a casino, the beatdown you're going to get from first the security, and then the paid off local cops makes it impossible to do anything.
