Article Abstract:
Major casinos have the same credit practices and principles as any other business. The author discusses the credit operation of her employer, John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks, Nevada. The Nugget casino uses the major credit databases and a credit reporting company for the gaming industry, Central Credit Inc.

Article Abstract:
The eleven Atlantic City casinos had gross gaming revenues of $2.138 million in 1985, up only 2.9 percent from 1984. Some attribute this small growth to the high costs of conducting business in New Jersey. The tight regulation by the Casino Control Commission is criticized, especially the detailed regulations on the granting of credit. The regulations require lengthy credit applications, detailed casino records, and comprehensive investigative procedures.
