STEP FIVE: GAMING COMMISSION
WHY DO YOU NEED A GAMING LICENSE?
The Gaming Commission is a separate entity that determines suitability of potential team members based on character, finances, criminal history and risk to current Team Members and the company.
All gaming interviews are handled on an individual basis.
What you will need for the gaming interview:
- Two Forms of valid I.D. required, along with CPL and DD214 (if applies).
- Documents of criminal cases regardless of age (juvenile/adult) or outcome.
- The applicant will need to provide ten years of work history and proof of residency.
Only after an applicant is granted a gaming license, we recommend the applicant to provide a two-week notice at their current place of employment.
