any premises where any such game of chance is being held, operated and conducted or
where it is intended that any such game of chance shall be held, operated and conducted,
or where any equipment being used or intended to be used in the conduct thereof is
found, for the purpose of inspecting the same. In addition to or in lieu of revoking or suspending or refusing to renew any license
or registration certificate issued by it or any municipality, the control commission
may, after providing a licensee the opportunity to be heard: a. issue a letter of warning, reprimand or censure with regard to any action, conduct
or practice which, in the judgment of the control commission upon consideration of
all relevant facts and circumstances, does not warrant the initiation of formal action; b. assess civil penalties in accordance with the provisions of section 15 of P.L.1994, c. 63 ( C. 5:8-57.2 ); c. order any person found to have violated any provision of a law, rule or regulation
administered by the control commission to desist from future violations thereof or

action found to be unlawful by the control commission; d. order any person found to have violated any provision of a law, rule or regulation
administered by the control commission to restore to any person aggrieved by an unlawful
act or practice, any monies or property, real or personal, acquired by means of such
action or practice, except that the control commission shall not order restoration
of a dollar amount greater than those monies received by a licensee or the agent of
a licensee or any other person violating the law, rule or regulation administered
by the control commission; and e. order any person, as a condition for continued, reinstated or renewed licensure,
to secure medical or other professional treatment as may be necessary to properly
