About two hours later, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation was notified. Security officers made copies of their IDs and realized that “V.M.” was 20 years old. The pair were asked to leave after they were found to be asking guests for money at 7:05 p.m. The young woman, identified in documents as “V.M.”, played slot machines for the next half-hour. Harrah’s was cited for an incident that took place April 8, in which a young woman and her adult female companion entered the casino at 6:25 p.m. Harrah’s general manager, Samir Mowad, signed a joint statement with the commission on the incidents. It was the first underage violation at either casino in the past year, Omaha reports. Harrah’s and Horseshoe, which are adjacent and share common management, self-reported the violations and cooperated with commission authorities, Ohorilko said. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission imposed last week $50,000 fines on Harrah’s and Horseshoe casinos in Council Bluffs for two instances of allowing underage patrons onto their gambling floors, said Brian Ohorilko, the commission’s administrator. The casinos in Council Bluffs have received financial penalties of $50,000 for two instances of allowing underage patrons onto their gambling floors.
