(Radio Iowa) – The Wild Rose Clinton casino has agreed to a fine for a violation involving the self exclusion gambling law. Racing and Gaming Administrator, Brian Ohorilkoh, says the violation involved casino mailings. “There was an incident where a patron had contacted Wild Rose and indicated they were receiving promotional mailings — that this patron was on the statewide self exclusion list,” Ohorilko says. He says casinos have a grace period to get new self exclusion sign-ups into their system.

“And this person was receiving mailings after that period of time. An investigation of the matter actually led to a breakdown in the screening of the list that Wild Rose Clinton had and provided to their mail house,” Ohorilko says. He says the investigation found a total of 12 people who should have been on the list, but weren’t.

Ohorilko says Wild Rose Clinton has taken steps to correct the issue and they agreed to a ten-thousand-dollar fine for the violation.
