GOT GAMBLING DEBTS?
Casino Markers
In Nevada, casinos often offer "casino markers"—interest-free lines of credit designed to encourage continued gambling. These markers function like checks, with the expectation that patrons will repay them within 30 days or less. Casino markers provide a convenient alternative to carrying large sums of cash or incurring ATM fees, making gambling more accessible. However, obtaining a casino marker requires submitting a credit line application, as they are a form of credit.
If a patron fails to repay the casino marker by the agreed deadline, they will be notified of the outstanding debt. Should repayment still not occur, the State may intervene, issuing a warrant for the patron's arrest and pursuing criminal charges.

PENALTIES FOR UNPAID CASINO MARKERS
CASINO MARKERS
The penalties for defaulting on casino markers in Nevada depend on how the offense is charged, with each marker treated as a separate charge rather than being combined into a single total. For instance, if a patron defaults on two $500 casino markers, each would be charged separately as a misdemeanor since they are individually under $650. A misdemeanor conviction can result in fines of up to $1,000 and/or a maximum of six months in jail.
However, if a single marker is valued at $650 or more, the offense escalates to a Category D felony. Felony penalties include a mandatory prison sentence of one to four years, restitution of the full outstanding debt, a mandatory administrative fee (5% for markers under $10,000 and 10% for those over $10,000), and an optional fine of up to $5,000.
Incarceration (1 to 4 years in prison for each unpaid marker)
Fines (up to $10,000 for each unpaid marker)
Court costs
Ruined credit record
Restitution to the casino
