Casino & Gaming Law

The Zarwin Baum casino and gaming law group assists individuals and vendors who seek to be employed by or provide services to casinos.

Employment
In terms of employment, Zarwin Baum helps individuals with the application process for a casino / slot machine licensee. An application for a gaming license must be submitted for employees whose job duties will require day-to-day interaction with gaming patrons, equipment and revenues, such as:
Security guards
Surveillance agents
Cage cashiers
Change personnel   Auditors
Slot technicians
Player services reps
Supervisors / managers

Our attorneys also assist with the application process for a non-gaming license. This must be submitted for employees whose job duties will require being on a gaming floor or restricted area, but who are not required to have contact with gaming equipment, including:
Cocktail servers
Waitstaff
Bartenders
Slot hosts   Janitorial personnel
Valet parkers
Food / beverage cashiers

The goal of the casino and gaming law group is to make a complicated application process simpler by:
• providing the required gaming and non-gaming application forms
• assisting in the completion and submission of the application forms
• ensuring all required documents are provided with the application
• advising the applicant of the background investigation that will be conducted
• informing the applicant of all applicable fees that must be tendered

If an employment application is denied, Zarwin Baum assists with the appeal process, representing the applicant at an administrative hearing and/or in court. We also make sure individuals are free from unlawful discrimination throughout the application and selection process, during employment, and when the employment relationship ends.
