Commission remands Albert C. Parker Jr.'s licensing application after questioning about 2020 Super Bowl ticket
Summary
After extended questioning about a 2020 Super Bowl ticket incident and inconsistencies in prior statements, the commission remanded Albert C. Parker Jr.'s initial casino key-employee license application to a contested hearing; Parker acknowledged fabricating parts of his earlier account and referenced a prior $4,500 stipulation.
The New Jersey Casino Control Commission remanded the initial casino key-employee license application of Albert C. Parker Jr. for a contested hearing after extended questioning by commissioners about a 2020 Super Bowl ticket incident.
Parker, appearing by Zoom, testified under oath and acknowledged a prior internal Ocean Casino security interview and later Division of Gaming Enforcement interviews. Commissioner Mario Vermeika pressed Parker about differing accounts — including a security guard’s report that Parker told the guard the ticket belonged to a subordinate’s uncle — and about whether Parker had at times said the ticket came from his wife. Parker told the commission, "I fabricated the truth on where I received it," and said he had panicked and later returned the money to HR and security.
Parker told commissioners he did not intend to conceal wrongdoing and that he "apologized since 2020" and has since reflected on the incident. When asked what he would do differently if faced with the same situation, Parker replied, "Burn the ticket." The commission noted a prior stipulation: in October 2025 Parker had agreed to pay a $4,500 fine and a registration suspension that was not carried out so long as no further violations occurred.
Commissioners also reviewed letters of reference and other exhibits Parker supplied. After questioning from multiple commissioners about inconsistent details in Parker’s accounts and about disciplinary history, Commissioner (S4) moved to remand Parker’s initial application to a hearing; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The commission instructed staff to place Parker’s stipulation and the reference letters into the record subject to any necessary redactions and directed the hearing office to schedule a contested hearing. The commission told Parker he will receive additional communications about the next steps.
Next steps: The matter will proceed to a contested hearing; the commission flagged confidentiality rules for portions of the record and staff indicated potential redactions when filing exhibits.
