§  1344.  List of persons self-excluded from gaming activities. 1. The
commission shall provide by regulation for the establishment of  a  list
of  persons  self-excluded from gaming activities at all licensed gaming
facilities.  Any  person  may  request  placement   on   the   list   of
self-excluded  persons by acknowledging in a manner to be established by
the commission that the person is a  problem  gambler  and  by  agreeing
that,  during  any  period  of  voluntary  exclusion, the person may not
collect any winnings or recover any losses  resulting  from  any  gaming
activity at such gaming facilities.
  2.  The  regulations  of the commission shall establish procedures for
placements on, and removals from, the  list  of  self-excluded  persons.
Such  regulations  shall  establish  procedures  for  the transmittal to
licensed  gaming  facilities  of  identifying   information   concerning
self-excluded  persons,  and shall require licensed gaming facilities to
establish procedures designed, at a  minimum,  to  remove  self-excluded
persons  from  targeted  mailings  or  other  forms  of  advertising  or
promotions  and   deny   self-excluded   persons   access   to   credit,
complimentaries,  check  cashing  privileges,  club  programs, and other
similar benefits.
  3. A licensed gaming facility or employee  thereof  acting  reasonably
and  in good faith shall not be liable to any self-excluded person or to
any other party in any judicial proceeding for  any  harm,  monetary  or
otherwise, which may arise as a result of:

(a) the failure of a licensed gaming facility to withhold gaming privileges from, or restore gaming privileges to, a self-excluded person; or

(b) otherwise permitting a self-excluded person to engage in gaming activity in such licensed gaming facility while on the list of self-excluded persons. 4. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the commission's list of self-excluded persons shall not be open to public inspection. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to prohibit a gaming facility licensee from disclosing the identity of persons self-excluded pursuant to this section to affiliated gaming entities in this state or other jurisdictions for the limited purpose of assisting in the proper administration of responsible gaming programs operated by such gaming affiliated entities. 5. A licensed gaming facility or employee thereof shall not be liable to any self-excluded person or to any other party in any judicial proceeding for any harm, monetary or otherwise, which may arise as a result of disclosure or publication in any manner, other than a willfully unlawful disclosure or publication, of the identity of any self-excluded person.
