Brandon J. Probert

A former Lakeside casino employee is likely headed to prison after admitting he stole from his employer.

Brandon J. Probert of Stateline at his arraignment this week in Minden pleaded guilty to embezzling. When he is sentenced in January he could get a maximum of five years in prison.

Probert was using a player tracking card that was only supposed to be used for training and test. Company policy is for any wins during a test to be turned into a casino cashier. Probert was not doing that, and instead kept the credits on the card.

Probert told Douglas County sheriff’s investigators that he collected about $2,000 in slot winnings with the company card.
