(2) The commission may by regulation provide for the establishment of a list of persons who are to be excluded or ejected from any licensed gaming establishment.

(i) The failure to disclose an interest in a gaming establishment for which the person must obtain a license; or

(ii) Willful evasion of fees or taxes;

(c) Notorious or unsavory reputation which would adversely affect public confidence and trust that the gaming industry is free from criminal or corruptive elements; or
