Anyone know whom you should contact if you encounter tip hustling?

I got hustled at craps the Eureka Casino in Mesquite a week ago and it still bothers me. Not just me, but the other players at the table too, who were inexperienced and playing for the first time.

Is there a Nevada statute against this? Should I contact gaming control?

I tried contacting the casino through the form on the website but the address bounced. I am getting aggravated.

It's a written job performance failure, and sometimes a firable offense. Gambling doesn't build character, it reveals..no character. But a lot of characters.
