This procedure is specifically for the reception of evidence in the hearing . The Commission may receive and consider any evidence relevant to the matter and commonly accepted by reasonable and prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. Evidence is relevant if it tends to prove that the action or proposed action is or is not authorized by the Gaming Ordinance and applicable laws and regulations. The Commission may exclude evidence that would be confusing, repetitious, unfairly prejudicial, or that lacks enough reliability.
