Florida's Hialeah Park Fined $20,000 for Violations in Poker Tournament

After Florida gaming authorities smacked 11 violations on Hialeah Park surrounding a tournament that took place last August, Miami's most popular card room has settled the matter in an agreement to pay a $20,000 fine that was approved by state gambling regulators, Michael Mayo reported for the Sun Sentinel.

The agreement, which can be viewed here, states that Hialeah Park "neither admits nor denies the violations alleged." The violations included 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.
