The report stated “according to several dealers and supervisors, verbal abuse bordering on uttering threats occurs daily, if not hourly.”

The Ministry of Attorney General is calling for a gambler’s Code of Conduct at B.C. casinos following a damning report into working conditions at Richmond’s River Rock Casino.

That earlier report, conducted by Paladin Security at the request of the B.C. Lotteries Corporation, found among other things that a drunk VIP gambler slapped an employee, and then wrote them a $2,000 cheque. It went on to say “extra” considerations were given to VIP gamblers, including the right to keep a dealer at the table that they believed to be good luck, even if the dealer was rostered off or needed to go to the washroom.

It stated that between 2010 and Aug. 2018 the River Rock Casino had sent 17,581 workplace reports to the gaming policy branch.
