About Casino Control Commission

The Casino Control Commission licenses Atlantic City casinos and the people who run them. It works alongside the Division of Gaming Enforcement in the Department of Law and Public Safety, which handles investigation and prosecution while the commission holds the licensing decision.

Almost the entire payroll line here consists of positions that do not map to a classified civil service title. Commission members and the chairman are appointed rather than hired from an eligible list, and much of the remaining staff carry agency-specific titles. This is the clearest example on the site of an agency where headcount and pay are informative but the civil service hiring routes described elsewhere simply do not apply.
