Staffers on the Illinois Gaming Board are currently drawing up a plan that would require the carding of every one of the 15.3 million patrons who enter the state’s nine offshore gambling riverboats each year. The plan will be discussed at the Gaming Board’s February 14th meeting, at which members will decide whether the regulation should be implemented.
The purpose of the new plan is two- fold, say gambling regulators. First of all, carding would help the offshore gambling boats to keep minors off the premises.
“As far as underage gambling goes, it would greatly do away with that,” said Gaming Board Chairman Aaron Jaffe of the offshore gambling carding plan.
The plan would also prevent compulsive gamblers from entering offshore gambling establishments. Since the state offered residents the chance to put themselves on a voluntary self- ban list in 2001, people on the list have been caught at the boats 480 times, and have been forced to forfeit $256,577 in winnings.
However, if the offshore gambling establishments were to card everyone who tried to enter, people on the self- ban list would be caught before they even entered.
The offshore gambling industry objects to the carding plan, saying that it would create large lines to enter the casinos.
