Sun Cruz Casino Challenges Rights to Gambling Data

The state appears to be within its authority to demand specific gaming winnings reports from Sun Cruz Casino, an administrative law judge said Monday.Administrative Law Court Chief Judge Marvin Kittrell said after the hearing that he will rule later in the case that is the first step to challenging the new law that allows local governments to ban or tax and regulate casino boats.

Sun Cruz protested the way the state Department of Revenue gathers information about winnings under the law.So far, the only boats operating in South Carolina are in Little River. Horry County has not chosen to either ban or tax the boats.Zoe Sanders Nettles, attorney for Sun Cruz, told Kittrell the law says casino boats must report their monthly average percentage of winnings.
