Nevada Gaming Control Board Pushes to Dismiss Discrimination Suit
The gambling regulator in the state deemed the allegations filed by its former employee, Jaime Black, as baseless

In September, the former Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) head, Jaime Black, filed a lawsuit against the Board, alleging racial discrimination. Now, the NGCB responded to the lawsuit, asking the court to dismiss it.
Motion to Dismiss Discrimination Lawsuit
As announced by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the NGCB filed a motion recently, asking a court to dismiss Black’s lawsuit. In its motion, the Board explained that it has never engaged in any discriminatory practices but rather is committed to hiring the most qualified and suitable candidates while giving equal opportunity to the applicants. Moreover, the NGCB disputed the former employee’s claims, deeming her allegations “baseless.”
“The board is committed to equal opportunity in hiring and it has never engaged in any hiring practices other than those designed to select the most suitable and qualified candidate. The allegations made by Black in the complaint are baseless,“
reads a motion filed by the NGCB
In its motion to dismiss the lawsuit, the NGCB explained that while Black’s claims were of great volume, the former employee was unable to support her accusations that Brittnie Watkins, one of the NGCB’s board members, breached the Civil Rights Act’s Title VII. The aforementioned title combats employment discrimination that may be based on color, race or religion. Specifically, it seeks to protect employees from any form of discrimination.
“Despite the redundancy and voluminosity of her assertions, all of Black’s retaliation claims fail to state a plausible claim because the complaint does not adequately allege that she (Control Board Member Brittnie Watkins) engaged in any action that was protected conduct under Title VII (of the Civil Rights Act),”
added the NGCB
Proposal Banning Gamblers from Collecting Jackpots Under Review
Recently, a proposal that seeks to stop banned gamblers from collecting jackpots was reviewed by the NGCB. The issue was brought to the attention of the Board amid a growing number of disputes filed by gamblers who have been previously banned.
On one side, if such a rule is approved, it would help resolve such cases and prevent new ones from accumulating. On the other, this will help ease the process that currently goes through the NGCB and creates an unnecessary burden.
