Under most circumstances, when your criminal record is sealed, it’s treated like it never existed. However, that’s not true in every situation. For example, if you apply for a job with a casino or other gambling-related institution, the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission can (and most likely will) view your criminal record.
For the most part, the gaming commission is only concerned about convictions related to finance. Examples of sealed crimes that may still prohibit you from employment in the gaming industry include:
Embezzlement
Money laundering
Theft
Other types of financial crimes
In addition to the Nevada Gaming Commission, it’s important to note that sealed criminal records can still be viewed by certain federal government agencies like the FBI, CIA, DEA, etc. Contact us to speak with a proven record sealing lawyer to learn more.
