The Board of Australian slot machine supplier Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT) says it will review the role of its CEO, Harald Neumann, after the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) recommended he withdraw his application for license renewal in the state.
Failure to be licensed in Nevada, home of critically important gambling hub Las Vegas, would likely render Neumann’s position untenable given that the United States remains AGT’s number one market.
In a filing, AGT said a meeting before the NGCB was held on Wednesday – part of a requirement for officers to be relicensed every five years – at which Neumann’s application “was referred back to NGCB staff, including a recommendation that Mr Neumann withdraw his application”.
