Bally Faces Fines in Registration Case

According to a complaint by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the slot company Bally Technologies has a history of not registering employees who work in gaming.

One staffer was unregistered for a decade

The Nevada Gaming Control Board has accused Bally Technologies Inc. of failing to register employees with the state, as required by law.

Board members filed a 28-count complaint against the slot manufacturer and operator on Christmas Eve.

Most of the counts in the complaint assert that registrations were late by weeks or even months, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal. One software engineer reportedly was hired in late November 2011, but her application was not submitted until February. Another employee, hired as an engineer, came on board in 2003 and worked 10 years before her application was filed.

In 2008, Bally paid a $65,500 fine for failing to register 56 gaming employees. “The overwhelming majority of the many hundreds of employees have been registered,” Bally spokesman Mike Trask said in December.

Regulators have asked the Nevada Gaming Commission to impose a fine for each of the 28 violations against Bally, according to the complaint.
