    3. Misrepresentations in Kimmswick application to cost Isle of Capri. The Missouri Gaming Commission has fined the Isle of Capri Casinos $250,000 for making four misrepresentations in its application to build a casino in Kimmswick, Mo. The Associated Press reported that in addition to the fine, the second-highest ever given by the commission, the commission ordered Isle of Capri to pay about $65,000 in investigation costs, and submit a report indicating how they will check information they provide to the commission in the future. The commission's investigators said the mistakes were made by consultants, not by the company intending to mislead the commission. On Sept. 21 Isle of Capri scrapped its plans to build a casino in Kimmswick, citing pending and potential litigation, possible condemnation and/or annexation of the site by a neighboring community, engineering and construction obstacles and lack of community support.
