According to the AG's Office, the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission (LGCCC) banned Christine Strothers, who operated games throughout Wildwood and North Wildwood, from having Amusement Games Licenses for 10 years.
Strothers was also ordered to pay a $15,500 fine for failing to comply with licensing law and regulations. Authorities say in the spring of 2022, Strothers received licenses to operate basketball and quarterback challenge games at several stores and businesses along the boardwalk.
Months later in the summer, investigators inspected each game and found several basketballs used in games were inflated more than they were supposed to be.
