People who self enroll do so in order to combat a gambling addiction. If those people are found in a casino they are to be removed immediately and their winnings are to be forfeited. Wessels visited the Isle on May 17th and won a jackpot. When he was filling out the paperwork to collect the prize he used another man’s name and social security number. That man later found out and alerted authorities. Wessels was arrested on Tuesday and charged with Forgery, Trespassing, and gambling charges.
