In one complaint two customers alleged that slots at the Vee Quiva Hotel and Casino were rigged. They concluded this after losing more than $80,000.

Another customer complained that the casino staff took “financial advantage of spouse while intoxicated.”

A customer of the Desert Diamond Casinos Tucson alleged he was arrested after he complained about his winnings being paid out by hand.
