“Donald and Jeffrey had come into the casino in the wee hours of Sunday morning, 1:00, 1:30 in the morning,” O’Donnell told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “You know, two buddies, they had three women with them, and the commission was waiting for me because they had determined that the women that they brought down were underage to be in the casino.”

The former casino boss said that he asked the inspectors how they knew the young woman’s age. “One of them was the number three-ranked tennis player in the world,” O’Donnell explained. “And this guy happened to be a tennis fan and he said, ‘Jack, I know she’s 19 years old.’”

He added: “To get on a helicopter with a friend and three other people and fly down to Atlantic City, I mean, you can connect those dots. They were pretty good buddies.”

It is illegal for anyone under 21 to gamble on the casino floor in New Jersey, a law enforced with strict penalties.
