VGM Forgeries Protection
With the recent increase in forged VGM ticket vouchers around the state, our Compliance Section has put together a one page checklist that hopefully casino owners & managers will share with their employees. Our goal is to reduce and eliminate the success rate of these opportunistic criminals by educating and providing an easy, step-by-step checklist that will aid casino employees in spotting a forged ticket voucher. Our Gambling Compliance Specialists are doing their part, but we need to focus on the front end of this problem through detection and deterrence.
