What would happen if someone were caught underage in a casino?

Bally's has security?

Hate to spoil your rant, but this is about underage gambling, not underage drinking. The NJ laws have been effect since gambling was legalized and pre-date the MADD/SADD era.

But the Draconian remedies (loss of drivers license, loss of student financial aid, etc.) don't. All that stuff was invented by MADD and their clients in government, and set a precedent to apply it to other things. Everybody wants to be extrajudicial now and attacking the drivers license is a way around due process.

If security dragged me out and threw me into the Ocean I would cherish that moment for the rest of my life.

I myself am well above the legal age but I am just curious. Like if an 18 year old were to gamble in a casino where the legal age is 19 and makes a profit. But the casino asks for ID upon cashing out, the kid doesn't have ID because he says he doesn't bring his wallet to casinos so he doesn't lose more money than he wants, does the casino have the legal write to take back your winnings even though they have no proof you are underage?
(Something I always wondered when I was underage:))

This will vary depending on local law.

According to http://www.addictionisagamble.com/?page_id=245, in Washington, the minor get a $125 fine, community service, forfeiture of winnings, and a call to their parents (assuming their parents actually care).

If the casino gets caught allowing a minor to gamble, they are typically fined, and in some cases are required to close one or two days (dates of their choosing at some point over the next two years). The fines vary, but are typically based on the amount of gambling revenue the casino earns in a typical business day. The severity of the penalties increase with each offense.

In Washington, gaming has cracked down on this to the point that many casinos ask people well into their 40s to show ID, and some even require everyone to show ID at the door. This can be rather frustrating if you really need to play anon.

I really doubt door security is going to get on the phone and give all your information to the pit boss.

Agreed. Door security doesn't scare me much, although some of the places insist on scanning your ID upon entry which can then be used by management to identify you later. The bigger problem is when dealers get nosey. I didn't mention this in my original post, but dealers also get busted by gaming if they allow a minor to gamble at their table.

You can ensure your DL will never be successfully scanned. I used a very expensive piece of industrial equipment but a magnifying glass on a sunny day will probably do the same thing. You can make a mask out of aluminum foil to create sort of an orthogonal pattern so it won't be instantly obvious what you did.
