Michael Taylor says the attorney general's gaming control division just cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Taylor, president and CEO of California Gaming Expo, is the promoter for the California Gaming Expo, designed to celebrate the gambling lifestyle. Capitalizing on the huge popularity of Texas Hold'em poker, the expo was to hold blackjack and poker tutorials and displaying slot machines. The slot machines worried California attorney general's office so much they cancelled the event.
"This is just absolutely ridiculous," said Taylor. "It was all for fun. (The contract) says I'm allowed to run a casino-style environment with Monopoly-style money. Everything was for free."
Nathan Barankin, a spokesman with the attorney general's office, said slot machine displays are always troublesome.
"Slot machines are usually a problem," Barankin said. "Having them anywhere that's not on tribal property is a problem. There are very severe restrictions."
