Casino Marker

Las Vegas Casino Marker Lawyer


A casino marker is like an interest-free loan that the player takes out from the casino. If you fail to pay back the loan within a short period of time determined by the law, typically 30 days, it can result in serious criminal charges. If you take out a casino marker and are unable to pay, you could be accused and convicted under fraud laws or the laws governing writing a bad check and you could be arrested and face felony charges.

If you have an unpaid casino marker, you need to hire an experienced Las Vegas casino marker lawyer immediately.

Nevada State Law Favors the Casinos


Did you know that the casinos use Nevada state laws to collect on debts. The district attorney’s office essentially acts as a legal form of debt collection in these situations.

These laws allow the casinos to have the district attorney’s office issue warrants for your arrest for unpaid casino markers. Police may then come and arrest you because you have not paid your debts to the casino.

While debtors’ prison is technically illegal in the United States, the casinos are able to take advantage of Nevada laws related to fraud and writing bad checks, thereby achieving a result that is fairly similar.

Other penalties for not paying a casino marker may include any of the following:

  • Arrest and jail time
  • Paying the fees associated with being extradited to Las Vegas
  • Monetary fines
  • Collection fees
  • Financial restitution

What If You’re from Out of State?


Even if you live outside Nevada, a warrant can still be issued for your arrest. You can be arrested and then extradited back to Nevada where you will face criminal charges. You could even be responsible for paying the bill for your extradition as well as spend a considerable amount of time in jail as you await the extradition transport to Nevada.

Your Options


It may be possible to negotiate with the casino or District Attorney’s office before an arrest warrant is ever issued. This can be the best-case scenario for anyone looking to prevent the public embarrassment of being arrested, jailed, and forced to stand trial. Failure to pay back a casino marker can impact your future and your ability to get a job.

At the Drummond Law Firm we have experience aggressively negotiating debts with the casinos on behalf of our clients. Contact us to determine if this is an option in your case.

Contact A Lawyer


While a casino marker violation may not seem as serious as something like assault, these laws are aggressively enforced and if criminal charges occur they are normally at the felony level with serious ramifications. It is actually in the best interest of the state to do so because they often collect a percentage of what is paid. As a result, you will essentially be up against both the prosecutor’s office and the casino.

This firm, the staff and Craig Drummond are amazing! They are efficient, pleasant, professional and highly responsive. I worked in the legal field during my career span and truly appreciate the knowledge of Mr. Drummond. I recently was assisting a family member with some legal concerns and reached out to Mr. Drummond and Ximena for guidance. Although he does not practice in this area, he got back to me the very next morning - less than 10 hours later after emailing him at 10pm. He gave very sound and detailed advice and guidance. He also was kind enough to offer referrals to trusted attorneys in the field. I truly am grateful that I have had the opportunity to meet and deal with Craig Drummond, Esq. and consider myself so fortunate. Aloha, B.J. Souza

I can say that they have very good Communication they’re very nice. Everyone that I met was very nice if I had any questions they would be more than glad to answer although I wish some things would turn out a little different, but it wasn’t nothing to do with them. Overall my experience with them was very good. They stay on top of everything and let you know everything. . So if I had to, I would definitely use them again.

Craig Drummond and all of his staff are fantastic people to work with. I was involved in an accident where I was rear-ended by someone in a company vehicle that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. The personal attention that I received and the recommended Medical treatment was invaluable to me. My vehicle was totaled as I was pushed into the SUV in front of me. My award from the judge was in the seven figures. I highly recommend his law firm for any type of injury case somebody might have

After my husband and I got in an accident, Drummond Law Firm was the first call we made and they set up a meeting to meet with us the next day. From day one, Drummond Law Firm worked diligently and kept us updated every step of the way. Every person at Drummond Law Firm is extremely kind, educated, and patient with every phone call, text and email we sent and we are extremely thankful for the hard work from every person on their team to ensure my husband and I were taken care of. Couldn't thank them or recommend them enough!
