Nevada Board Files Complaint Against Resorts World

The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) has filed a 31-page disciplinary complaint against Resorts World Las Vegas, alleging that the casino facilitated illegal bookmaking and welcomed individuals with ties to organized crime and gambling-related felonies. Central to the allegations is Mathew Bowyer, a Southern California bookmaker who recently pleaded guilty to running an illegal gambling business and reportedly lost over $6.6 million at the casino over 15 months. The NGCB is seeking financial penalties against Resorts World, with the Nevada Gaming Commission having the authority to impose fines or potentially revoke the casino's gaming license. Resorts World has stated its commitment to integrity and compliance with laws, asserting that it is working to resolve the issues with the NGCB. The case raises questions about the casino's oversight and handling of suspicious activities, as executives allegedly ignored or tolerated such behaviors for financial gain. This situation reflects ongoing concerns about regulatory enforcement in the gaming industry.
