The Nevada Gaming Control Board is warning patrons participating in casino reward programs to keep track of their loyalty points because some casino employees are committing theft in Las Vegas by stealing them.

Customers who frequent various hotels and casinos may rack up loyalty points by booking rooms, eating at restaurants, gambling, etc., which they then may use to redeem free casino services or merchandise in the future. However, since employees have easy access to the system, some are deducting points for their own personal use.

Employees caught for this kind of theft in Las Vegas face such charges as computer fraud and embezzlement, which may carry several years of prison time.
