NEWARK
– A Burlington County-based company
that supplies personnel and equipment to
qualified organizations for “casino
night” fund raisers has agreed to
pay $30,000 in penalties for violations
that included the use of unlicensed dealers
and uncertified games.
The
New Jersey Legalized Games of Chance Control
Commission (LGCCC) found that Tumbling Dice
Entertainment, Inc., and its owners, Kevin
Graham and Lisa Graham, committed multiple
violations during casino nights held from
2004 through 2007. Tumbling Dice Entertainment,
also known as Dealer’s Choice and
Haliam Enterprises, is located in Southampton.
The
LGCCC, which also regulates raffles, bingo
and boardwalk/fair amusement games, found
that the company and the Grahams provided
a total of 184 unlicensed dealers during
18 casino night events held for various
organizations.
Additionally,
equipment was provided for two casino nights
in early 2006 when the company had failed
to renew its license. Another violation
involved the use of uncertified skill stop
devices during a casino night held in February,
2004.
“We
regulate casino nights to ensure the sponsoring
organizations benefit as intended,”
Acting Consumer Affairs Director Stephen
B. Nolan said. “The integrity of fund
raisers is important to participants as
well as the organizations.”
The
LGCCC can be contacted at 973-273-8000
or in writing at P.O. Box 46000, Newark,
N.J. 07101.
