Evidence suggests that the councilman and his wife were players at a second casino, the paper said, and therefore could have been net winners or lost more money, but the other casino would not cooperate with investigators.
Prosecutors allege the couple failed to pay into the mandatory state insurance program from Nov. 28, 2000 and Jan. 8, 2010.
Investigators also found the pair repeatedly wrote bad payroll checks to workers at Casa Linda Mexican Restaurant in Vista.
A conviction means the couple could face a sentence of one year in jail or probation.
Lopez was elected to the Vista City Council in 2004. His term expires in 2012.
