Las Vegas Casino Marker Fraud Defense Lawyer

Casinos have many tactics for encouraging visitors to continue spending money, offering everything from low-priced alcoholic beverages to luxurious accommodations for big spenders. One service offered by many famous casinos is casino credit, sometimes called casino markers. This is a way to gamble on credit extended by the casino, which you are naturally expected to repay.

In Nevada, writing a bad check or otherwise defrauding a casino is a felony offense. If you have been accused of this crime, you could be in very serious trouble. You need a Las Vegas casino markers defense attorney with the tenacity to keep fighting until your case has been fairly resolved. Contact Palmer & Associates, P.C. at 702-888-2222.

Failure to Pay Casino Markers: What It Is, How It’s Penalized

In the typical casino credit arrangement, you will give the casino a personal or business check for a certain amount of money. In return, the casino will let you gamble with that money on credit, without cashing the check until the next business day. Casinos can also issue markers, a kind of loan that must repaid by a certain time.

If your check bounces, or you fail to repay the loan by the agreed upon date, you could be facing a lawsuit and criminal charges. If your marker was over $250, your failure to pay is a felony offense. Not only can you be extradited from any US state, but you could be facing up to four years in jail.

Casinos are very tough opponents to go up against. In Las Vegas, thanks to our huge gaming industry, they also have a certain level of influence over state legislation. If you’ve got a casino chasing after you for money, you need a Las Vegas casino marker defense lawyer with the endurance and aggression of a pit bull.
