- Casino theft – This includes swindling, fraud, stealing chips, unpaid markers, and use of counterfeit coins. When a casino extends you credit in the form of a marker, you are required to pay the marker. However, this is often difficult if you’ve suffered bad luck while gambling. In these cases, unpaid markers are treated like bad checks and prosecuted as serious theft crimes.
- Cheating scams – Examples include the use of a device to obtain an advantage at a casino game, unlawful use of bogus chips, counting cards, use of marked cards, use of loaded dice, and past posting.
- Underage gambling – It is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to set foot on a casino gaming floor.
- Disorderly conduct in casino hotels – Verbal or physical altercations on the casino floor can quickly escalate and result in your arrest.
- Assaults – Casino security personnel won’t hesitate to act on minor infractions. It is not uncommon for the casino to press assault charges against the victim when security comes over to address a situation and uses too much force.
- Criminal trespass – Anyone who remains on casino property after being told to leave or banned from the premises may be charged with trespassing.
- Gun charges – If your weapons permit was not applicable in New Jersey, you could be charged with illegal possession of a handgun.
