In Nevada, Owing Money to a Casino Is a Crime
Nevada casinos have a very powerful tool to collect unpaid gambling debts. With the help of Nevada's legislature, casinos have made refusing to pay gambling debts a crime. The failure to repay casino markers is a felony. Even if you live out of state, if you owe a casino money, Nevada law enforcement agencies will issue a felony warrant against you. Both out-of-state police and their local agencies will arrest you based on an active felony warrant. Don't deceive yourself. Even if you are a successful businessman or prominent citizen, your local police will arrest and hold you until you resolve the situation. You do not want to take a "seven-day bus ride in handcuffs" to resolve your Nevada case. We can resolve your problem.
We have defended people throughout the United States who have been charged with failing to repay a casino marker. We will take all measures within the law to defend you against these charges, which may include helping you work out a payment plan that will keep the casinos and the police off your back.
