Ep 331: Resorts World Las Vegas in “hot water” over AML accusations

iGaming Daily

On today's episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, we will be immersing ourselves in the complex and fascinating ongoing legal story involving Resorts World Las Vegas.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board has filed a disciplinary complaint against the casino and its parent and affiliated companies, as well as individuals working at the property. The probe focuses on the conduct of Matthew Bowyer, the bookie caught up in the Shohei Ohtani scandal, who was allegedly able to lose over $1.2m at the casino without verifying the source of his funds.

Joe Streeter, Editor of CasinoBeats, is joined by Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas to dive deeper into the story and pick their way through the numerous legal and regulatory cases involving individuals associated with Resorts World.

The duo also discuss what potential punishment the operator could face, whether there is a more widespread problem with casinos issuing credit to high rollers and Joe finds out what a ‘Bravo head’ is.
