(1) Any licensee or an officer, employee, or agent thereof may question any person in the licensee's establishment suspected of violating any of the provisions of this article 30. A licensee or any officer, employee, or agent thereof is not criminally or civilly liable:
(a) On account of any such questioning; or
(b) For reporting to the division, commission, or law enforcement authorities the person suspected of the violation.
(2) Any licensee or any officer, employee, or agent thereof who has probable cause to believe that there has been a violation of this article 30 in the licensee's establishment by any person may take that person into custody and detain him or her in the establishment in a reasonable manner and for a reasonable length of time. Such a taking into custody and detention does not render the licensee or the officer, employee, or agent thereof criminally or civilly liable unless it is established by clear and convincing evidence that the taking into custody or detention is unreasonable under all the circumstances.
(3) A licensee or any officer, employee, or agent thereof is not entitled to the immunity from liability provided for in subsection (2) of this section unless there is displayed in a conspicuous place in the licensee's establishment a notice in bold-face type clearly legible and in substantially this form:
Any gaming licensee, or any officer, employee, or agent thereof who has probable cause to believe that any person has violated any provision prohibiting cheating in limited gaming may detain that person in the establishment.
