Tipped off by a group of poker players, Florida gaming authorities have hit Hialeah Park, Miami's most popular card room, with a list of 11 violations surrounding a tournament that took place in August of last year. Nick Sortal reported the story for the Miami Herald last month, and the list of offenses is jarring.
The full list can be viewed in a legal document here. The charges, which come from the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, include failure to issue receipts and keep proper log of entries, failure to have surveillance video that covered the gaming floor, mishandling of jackpot funds and receipts, and failure to comply with procedure in seating players for the tournament.
