Casino boats in Horry County must give detailed financial reports of their winnings to the state, according to a state administrative law judge ruling released Friday.
The decision opens the door to county taxation of the state's only two gambling boats, which both operate out of Little River.
The legal decision is a blow to Florida-based SunCruz Casinos, which filed suit in October claiming it was not required to turn over records on individual machine winnings to the state Department of Revenue.
"After carefully weighing the evidence ... I find that [Suncruz] must include in its monthly reports filed with the department the amount wagered and the amount paid out as prize money for each table game and machine operated," Chief Judge Marvin Kittrell wrote.
