The Director shall provide by regulation for the procedures of handling the forfeiture of any winnings or the prohibition of recovering any losses by persons prohibited from gaming activity as set forth in this subsection.

(e) In addition to any other penalty provided by law, any money or thing of value which has been obtained by any person prohibited from gaming activity in a video lottery facility shall be subject to an order of forfeiture by the Director, following notice to the prohibited person and an opportunity for the prohibited person to be heard as set forth by regulation.
