Placed on probation following his release in 1996, he was listed in the "Black Book" after the Nevada Gaming Commission found evidence of ties with Ted Binion, an associate of Kansas City mobster Peter Joseph Ribaste, in May 1997.

Only two months before his probation ended, he was caught playing a crap game at Harrah's North Kansas City Hotel & Casino at around 3:30 am on January 2, 1999. Although sentenced to spend one day in jail and extended his probation period another twelve months, of which four months would be electronicly monitored during house arrest [1]. Despite this, Simone was finally returned to prison later that year after his parole officer witnessed him at a strip club for over three hours [2].
