A preliminary report said security guards at the Lumiere
Place in downtown St. Louis allowed six people in even though
their driver's licenses or military identifications indicated
they were not yet 21. In at least three of those cases, the
patrons' driver's licenses stated: "UNDER 21."
Others entered the casino without presenting identification
or by using someone else's.
The casino was fined $60,000 in September after two
incidents in May in which a 19-year-old played table games and
an electronic gaming device and a 20-year-old played blackjack
and roulette and was served alcohol.
"The commission is not going to tolerate just winking at
the underage minor," McNary said. "It's the law."
A Lumiere Place spokesman said Monday that no one from the
casino was available for comment.
