You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
So are the rules of gambling — rules that apparently don’t apply to millionaire rap stars. A Missouri casino is facing fines of up to $50,000 for allegedly letting Nelly break some casino rules. The casino is accused of breaking 10 separate laws so that Nelly could have a particularly good time at his birthday party, which was held at the President Casino in Jefferson City, MO.
The Missouri Gaming Commission hasn’t offered up a whole lot of specifics about the casino’s infractions, but it is known that Nelly and eight of his friends gained access to the casino without picking up required electronic identification cards. The cards ensure that gamblers don’t buy more than $500 worth of chips every two hours — another rule that Nelly (who can certainly afford to drop more than that) allegedly broke. Authorities are remaining tight-lipped on the nature of the other broken rules.
While the casino will have to face charges on the matter in a month’s time, these infractions are their problem, not Nelly’s. Even so, Nelly’s people told the Associated Press that the rapper would not have intentionally broken any rules if he had been aware of the situation
