Baccarat Player dancing on Table costs Caesars Palace $250,000
Caesars Palace
The Nevada Gaming Control Board has reached a settlement with Caesars Palace over a dispute caused by a man walking and dancing on a baccarat table while the game was being played. Caesars Palace agreed to pay the fine after the Gaming Control Board filed a complaint and charged the hotel-casino with failing to protect the game and the customer. The resort, owned by Harrah’s Entertainment, admitted to the allegations made about an incident, which occurred on October 10th 2009, involving a customer in the high-limit baccarat room in their Las Vegas Boulevard casino.
The male player is reported to have got up on to the table no less than three times by climbing on his chair. During these trips to the table’s surface, the man is alleged to have walked on the table whilst making bets. On one occasion, he’s even said to have performed a dance for the stunned employees and players before standing on his chair and eventually sitting down.
The deal was signed by senior vice president and general manager of Caesars Palace Gary Selesner and Senior Deputy Attorney General Michael Somps. The deal means that litigation is avoided and the agreement will be confirmed by the Gaming Commission next month.
