Wrong as it may seem:
Computer break-in is a more serious crime than playing games on state-time.

When you suspect your boss of playing games on his PC while he shouldn't do so, you should do:
1) report this to his or her boss if applicable

A boss should not be judged by what he/she does on company/government time, but by the results he/she is getting.
Everyone is accountable to someone and that someone should be notified of lessened productivity. If however that someone thinks the results are still adequate, then what's the harm?

Knowingly spying on the boss' PC is very wrong (more than just solitaire might have leaked from that office this way) and should be punished by dismissal.

Edit: regardless, I also think the boss should be investigated, because the alleged 70% loss of productivity is too much to not influence the results. (remember that screenshots do not prove that a game was actually being played.)
