Casino Employee Work Card Lawyer
State and tribal gaming regulations require licenses for all casino employees who participate in the operations of specific games. In order to obtain a "work card" the prospective employee must pass a rigorous background check.

Why you need the right gaming law attorney

John Maloney can help your operation get the application right the first time. By advising you and assisting you with the background requirements, you can save time, money, and scrutiny about the types of employees you are seeking to hire.
Work cards are typically denied for a variety of problems stemming from the prospective employee’s past. These include:
- Drug and alcohol abuse with no evidence of rehabilitation
- Failure to disclose arrests or a criminal conviction for theft charges
- Conviction for a violent crime, assault
- Past violations of employee license regulations
- Violations for illegal gambling or known gambling addiction
- Association with known criminals
