Dotty’s doesn’t follow the rules

Dotty’s believes it does not have to follow gaming rules, and that is unfair to other local bars that have video slots. Saying you will do whatever it takes to comply with state regulations and then doing nothing is just playing dumb and hoping gaming officials will eventually leave you alone. I think Nevada should give a Dotty’s a timetable to get up to standards and if they don’t meet that deadline, close their doors! Not permanently, just enough to say we mean business!

I prefer gambling in smaller establishments to the large, greedy casinos. But laws have to be put in place, and nobody should ever be exempt from those laws! Dotty’s has always seemed to think it is above the rules. They constantly use the excuse that they are being singled out by the bigger casinos. Dotty’s has not in any way helped the community thrive. They are out just to help themselves, and they hide behind the guise of being a friend to little old ladies when all they are doing is robbing the community they supposedly claim to be serving. Shame on them!
