Oh boy,

 They walked out of the shop having forgotten to pay, being asked back in and they manage to get them into a set of Pyjamas, both of them.

You lucky Bastards being in Dubai and not South Las Vegas there. 

What can you tell me about illegal gambling in Las Vegas? Doc Google.

In Las Vegas, gambling is only legal when conducted by licensed operators under the strict oversight of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. 

What is Considered Illegal Gambling?
Under Nevada law, "gambling games" are broadly defined; any game involving money or value is prohibited unless licensed. Key illegal activities include: 

    Unlicensed Wagering: Running or playing in "underground" games (poker, 
      sports books) where the operator takes a cut (rake) without a license.
    Cheating and Fraud: Using devices to alter game outcomes, using insider information, 
      or using counterfeit chips.
    Underage Gambling: You must be 21 or older to gamble. Minors are not permitted to 
      stand near gaming areas.
    Prohibited Formats: Lotteries are generally prohibited in Nevada.
    Illegal Online Betting: Using offshore sites or unlicensed apps that accept bets from 
      within Nevada is illegal. 

Recent Enforcement and Scandals (2025)
2025 saw significant crackdowns on high-profile illegal operations:
    Rigged Poker Games: A massive FBI investigation revealed "underground" poker  
     games in Las Vegas (and other cities) that used hidden cameras, modified shuffling 
     machines, and X-ray tables to cheat victims out of millions.
    Major Casino Fines: Several Strip entities—including Resorts World, MGM, Wynn, and 
     Caesars—faced over $32 million in fines in 2025 for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) 
     failures, often linked to allowing illegal bookmakers to frequent their properties.
    Illegal Bookmaker Mathew Bowyer: The fallout from the illegal bookie associated with 
     Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter led to disciplinary actions against major casinos 
     for their association with his illicit funds. 

Legal Consequences
Penalties for illegal gambling have been strengthened by Senate Bill 256, signed in 2025: 
    Criminal Charges: Cheating and operating illegal games are typically felonies, carrying 
      1 to 6 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.
    Disgorgement of Profits: Guilty operators must now forfeit all profits and gross receipts 
      to the State General Fund.

Underage Penalties: Conviction results in a disorderly persons offense, a fine up to $1,000, and a minimum 6-month driver's license suspension. 

What is Permitted?

    Social Gaming: Private games in homes where the host does not take a cut (rake) are 
     generally legal.
    Skill Games: Games of pure skill not conducted on casino premises are typically 
     unregulated.
    Card Counting: While not illegal, it is a grounds for being banned from private casino 
     establishments.

PS: Do I know people there? No. Not really. It is more a place that will feel like home having a BKA shadow. I just shoot them dead and do not worry, but at all, doing my thing. Here it will be politics.
