One of the largest casino operators on the Strip has agreed to settle a regulatory complaint stemming from its involvement with an illegal bookmaker.<\/p>\n
Caesars Entertainment will pay a $7.8 million fine and implement enhanced anti-money laundering controls, according to a stipulation for settlement filed Thursday with the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission. Regulators will consider approving the settlement at a public meeting on Nov. 20.<\/p>\n
In a complaint filed the same day, as the stipulation of settlement, state gaming officials allege to have found \u201cinstances of failures of control,\u201d in allowing Mathew Bowyer, a since-convicted illegal bookmaker, to gamble at Caesars Palace and other Strip casinos operated by Caesars Entertainment for a period of more than seven years, spanning from \u201csometime prior to 2017,\u201d to Jan. 22, 2024, when Bowyer was reportedly banned from all Caesars properties.<\/p>\n
Reno-based Caesars Entertainment, operator of eight casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, responded Friday, saying, in part, \u201cintegrity and regulatory compliance are paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of the settlement, Caesars Entertainment does not admit or deny any of the allegations contained in the state\u2019s complaint.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe fully cooperated with the Nevada Gaming Control Board throughout its investigation and are committed to maintaining strong anti-money laundering and \u2018know your customer\u2019 programs,\u201d the gaming and hospitality company said in a statement Friday. \u201cWe take our compliance responsibilities seriously and are dedicated to continuously strengthening our practices to meet and exceed the highest standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
