Gaming regulators are putting the Tropicana Casino and Resort on notice.
The Gaming Enforcement Division today recommended renewing the Atlantic City casino's license for one year instead of five years.
The panel says the Trop's new owners have shown they're incapable of running the first-class operation that the state requires.
The Casino Control Commission gets the final say on the recommendation.
Since taking over in January, Columbia Sussex has cut nearly 900 jobs.
That touched off a bitter battle with the casino's main union, which claims the cuts have left the Tropicana dirty and understaffed.
Management blamed many of the problems on union resistance to the job cuts and accuses workers of sabotage.
