Court rules casinos not liable for state gaming audit costs
Clark County District Judge Joseph Pawlikowski ruled that state gaming authorities cannot charge casinos for investigation and audit costs. He said Nevada law does not require originals of markers to stay in state, and that once licensed, casinos need not cover audit or investigation expenses. The decision may be appealed or legislative action sought.
