Getting into the Nevada Black Book is harder than winning an Oscar
The list was carefully selected, with only 33 active names, and nominees were so thin that Roderick William Dee II became the first three-member gaming control in four years Recommended by the GCB.
But Dee probably doesn't want this to be a nomination. This means he will never be able to enter a Nevada casino again without being arrested.
Black Book
Its actual name is the "Excluded Persons List," but it is often referred to as the "Black Book." If you join, you're a very bad boy (as far as we know, there are currently no women in the game) and if you show up at a casino where women aren't welcome, you'll be considered persona non grata. t provides slots. Just (1967 adds an interesting gap, especially here since our Dee is clearly a slot machine hustler). If a black booker shows up at a casino and the casino fails to report you to the Gaming Control Board, they themselves may be fined.
Dee's criminal record includes four felonies, three of them in Nevada. Two occurred at casinos in Nevada, and one occurred at a local supermarket equipped with slot machines (considering that most major supermarket chains and nearly all convenience stores in Sin City have entire slot machine sections, banning them from casinos is not a options). the right thing). Probably slowed this guy down too much.
Interestingly, the last person to be added to the Black Book was Michael James McNeive, 72, who was added in 2009 and most recently lived in Hollywood, Florida. Dee turned out to be a well-known associate of McNiff's, even though he was slightly younger at 58 years old. One photo of him shows him as a grizzled gangster who looks like a character played by Central Casting in a movie about his life.
Next steps for inclusion
Next, the five-member Nevada Gaming Commission will consider placing Dee on the Black Book; although he will be notified of a hearing date (as he was with his original GCB nomination), whether he will It's questionable that he's been in court in California and Indiana and has attempted arrest warrants for attempted slot machine fraud. Dee was famous for his use of a "stand," a device that allowed slot machines to generate jackpots or add points to the game. GCB Chairman A.G. Burnett allegedly used this method to steal tens of thousands of dollars from slot machines.
But even without these multiple thefts, Dee would still qualify for inclusion in the Black Book. Board of Control member Terry Johnson said only one of Dee's four felony convictions would have given him access to the exclusive club.
"He clearly poses a threat to Nevada because of his tendency to violate the state's gambling laws and the gambling laws of other states," Johnson said.
