Black Book (List of Excluded Persons)

Legal

Nevada’s official List of Excluded Persons, commonly known as the “Black Book,” which contains the names of individuals whose presence in licensed casinos is considered a threat to the integrity of the state’s gaming industry. Excluded persons are prohibited from entering any licensed casino in Nevada, and casinos can be penalized for allowing excluded persons on their premises. The Black Book includes individuals associated with organized crime, cheating, money laundering, and other serious offenses. Other jurisdictions maintain similar exclusion lists.

One entry from the Casino Industry Glossary — 1,157 terms written for surveillance, compliance and operations professionals rather than for players. Definitions describe industry usage; where a term carries a regulatory meaning, verify against the instrument that governs your jurisdiction.
