suitability  of  the  applicant.  In  evaluating  the suitability of the
applicant, the commission shall consider the overall reputation  of  the
applicant including, without limitation:
(a)  the  integrity,  honesty,  good  character  and reputation of the
applicant;
(b)  the  financial  stability,  integrity  and  background   of   the

to establish and maintain a successful gaming facility;
(d) whether the applicant has a  history  of  compliance  with  gaming
licensing requirements in other jurisdictions;

in litigation involving its business practices;
(f) the suitability of all parties in interest to the gaming  facility
license,  including  affiliates  and  close associates and the financial
resources of the applicant; and

commission  that  the  applicant  will act honestly, fairly, soundly and
efficiently as a gaming licensee.

why  it would be injurious to the interests of the state in awarding the
applicant a gaming facility  license,  the  commission  shall  deny  the
application, subject to notice and an opportunity for hearing.
3.  If  the  investigation  reveals  that  an applicant is suitable to
receive a gaming facility license, the entity shall recommend  that  the

§  1344.  List of persons self-excluded from gaming activities. 1. The
commission shall provide by regulation for the establishment of  a  list
of  persons  self-excluded from gaming activities at all licensed gaming
facilities.  Any  person  may  request  placement   on   the   list   of
self-excluded  persons by acknowledging in a manner to be established by
the commission that the person is a  problem  gambler  and  by  agreeing
that,  during  any  period  of  voluntary  exclusion, the person may not
collect any winnings or recover any losses  resulting  from  any  gaming
activity at such gaming facilities.
2.  The  regulations  of the commission shall establish procedures for
placements on, and removals from, the  list  of  self-excluded  persons.
Such  regulations  shall  establish  procedures  for  the transmittal to
licensed  gaming  facilities  of  identifying   information   concerning
self-excluded  persons,  and shall require licensed gaming facilities to
establish procedures designed, at a  minimum,  to  remove  self-excluded
persons  from  targeted  mailings  or  other  forms  of  advertising  or
promotions  and   deny   self-excluded   persons   access   to   credit,
complimentaries,  check  cashing  privileges,  club  programs, and other
similar benefits.
3. A licensed gaming facility or employee  thereof  acting  reasonably
and  in good faith shall not be liable to any self-excluded person or to
any other party in any judicial proceeding for  any  harm,  monetary  or
otherwise, which may arise as a result of:
(a)  the  failure  of  a  licensed  gaming facility to withhold gaming
privileges from,  or  restore  gaming  privileges  to,  a  self-excluded
person; or
(b)  otherwise  permitting  a self-excluded person to engage in gaming
activity  in  such  licensed  gaming  facility  while  on  the  list  of
self-excluded persons.
4.  Notwithstanding  any  other  law to the contrary, the commission's
list of self-excluded persons shall not be open  to  public  inspection.
Nothing  herein,  however,  shall  be  construed  to  prohibit  a gaming
facility licensee from disclosing the identity of persons  self-excluded
pursuant  to this section to affiliated gaming entities in this state or
other jurisdictions for the limited purpose of assisting in  the  proper
administration  of  responsible  gaming programs operated by such gaming
affiliated entities.
5. A licensed gaming facility or employee thereof shall not be  liable
to  any  self-excluded  person  or  to  any  other party in any judicial
proceeding for any harm, monetary or otherwise, which  may  arise  as  a
result  of  disclosure  or  publication  in  any  manner,  other  than a
willfully unlawful disclosure or publication, of  the  identity  of  any
self-excluded person.

  to subdivision one of section one thousand three hundred  forty-four  of
  this title, shall not collect, in any manner or proceeding, any winnings
  or  recover  any  losses  arising  as  a result of any prohibited gaming
  activity.
2. For the purposes of this section, any gaming activity in a licensed
  gaming facility that results in a prohibited person obtaining any  money
  or  thing  of  value from, or being owed any money or thing of value by,
  the gaming facility shall be considered, solely  for  purposes  of  this
  section, to be a fully executed gambling transaction.
3.  In  addition  to  any  other penalty provided by law, any money or
  thing of value which has been obtained by, or is owed to, any prohibited
  person by a licensed gaming facility as a result of  wagers  made  by  a
  prohibited person shall be subject to forfeiture following notice to the
  prohibited  person  and  opportunity  to  be  heard.  A  licensed gaming
  facility shall inform a prohibited person of the  availability  of  such
  notice  on  the commission's website when ejecting the prohibited person
  and seizing any chips, vouchers or other representative of money owed by
  a gaming facility  to  the  prohibited  person  as  authorized  by  this
  subdivision.   All   forfeited  amounts  shall  be  deposited  into  the
  commercial gaming revenue fund.
4. In any proceeding brought by the commission against a  licensee  or
  registrant  for  a  willful violation of the commission's self-exclusion
  regulations, the commission may order, in addition to any other sanction
  authorized, an additional fine of double the  amount  of  any  money  or
  thing  of  value  obtained  by  the  licensee  or  registrant  from  any
  self-excluded person. Any money or thing of value so forfeited shall  be
  disposed  of in the same manner as any money or thing of value forfeited
  pursuant to subdivision three of this section.

§  1353.  Determination  of  tax liability. The commission may perform
  audits of the books and records of a gaming facility licensee,  at  such
  times  and  intervals  as  it  deems  appropriate,  for  the  purpose of
  determining the sufficiency of tax or  fee  payments.  If  a  return  or
  deposit  required  with  regard  to  obligations imposed is not filed or
  paid, or if a return or deposit when filed or paid is determined by  the
  commission to be incorrect or insufficient with or without an audit, the
  amount of tax, fee or deposit due shall be determined by the commission.
  Notice  of  such determination shall be given to the licensee liable for
  the payment of the tax or  fee  or  deposit.  Such  determination  shall
  finally  and  irrevocably  fix  the tax or fee unless the person against
  whom it is assessed, within thirty days after receiving notice  of  such
  determination, shall apply to the commission for a hearing in accordance
  with the regulations of the commission.
