Brief: LV gamer agrees to surrender his permit

The Gaming Control Board, in a complaint filed last July, said Pecoraro brought discredit on Nevada for taking part in the Indian casino business, which had operated without signing a compact with the state of California and approval by the Secretary of Interior. It sought to revoke his license.

Pecoraro admitted no wrongdoing but has signed a stipulation with the board to give up his license as a manufacturer and distributor of gaming devices and not reapply for one year.

He was employed as technical director at the Barona Big Top Casinos, operated by the Barona Band of Mission Indians in Lakeside, Calif.

The stipulation, made public Wednesday, must be approved by the Nevada Gaming Commission, which meets later this month. Pecoraro never used his Nevada license to obtain employment or to enhance his position in the Indian gaming operation, according to the stipulation.
