Most of the cases involved patrons who were either asked to provide identification when claiming a manual payout from slot machines or other games, and were either found to be underage or to have produced inadequate identification. 14, 2023 New Jersey gambling regulators released details of forfeitures they ordered totaling over $77,000 from five casinos and a racetrack that were found to have allowed underage or otherwise prohibited gamblers to make bets.
