Nevada To Add Gambler To 'Black Book' For First Time In Nearly Four YearsCase For Roderick William Dee II Goes To Gaming Commission |
|
A new name will likely be joining Nevada’s Excluded Person List, commonly referred to as the “Black Book.” The addition reportedly is the first one in nearly four years.
On Thursday of last week, the Nevada Gaming Control Board approved Roderick William Dee II to the list. He is known for cheating at slot machines.
Dee’s case now heads to the Gaming Commission for final approval.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, a state attorney said that Dee has four felony convictions for slot machine incidents, three in Nevada and one in Missouri. Two incidents occurred in Nevada casinos and the third occurred in a Las Vegas convenience store.
If officially placed on the list, it would be a felony for Dee to enter a Silver State casino. Casinos themselves could be fined if they let him in.
Dee, 58, lives in Las Vegas.
He reportedly used a device that would trick a slot machine into producing a jackpot or adding credits. He reportedly received tens of thousands of dollars, illegally.
Nevada’s Black Book was established in 1972. Dee would be the 34th to join the list.

The Black Book is a statewide ban for entering any casino. Individual properties sometimes have bans for individuals on certain games, like card-counters in blackjack.
