John Izzo attended the Ohio Casino Control Commission
Meeting on Wednesday, August 20, 2014. The meeting started off with
Executive Director Matt Schuler informing the Commission that Scientific Games
was going through yet another merger. Attorney Matt Oyster addressed the
Commission, explaining that the Commission’s jurisdiction includes illegal
casinos, which would be establishments that illegally house gaming other than
the four allowed by the Ohio Constitution, certain charitable gaming, games of
skill, and games regulated by the Lottery Commission. Rock Ohio Caesars
entered into a settlement agreement in which it agreed to pay a $200,000.00
fine. Two report and recommendations were before the Commission, with
each licensee having their license revoked. One report and recommendation
was modified by the Commission; the Commission disagreed with the hearing
examiners determination that a OMVI--which did not affect an applicant’s
suitability for a license--should be considered to affect suitability as a
licensee.
