Executives of MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts Ltd. should know within a few days if their companies will be disciplined for violating Massachusetts’ new sports wagering regulations.

The five-member commission on Friday conducted two separate adjudicatory hearings to take statements on violations of rules that occurred shortly after sports wagering went live in the state Jan. 31. Both companies acknowledged the violations at their respective hearings.

The commission has the option of fining the two Las Vegas-based companies, or suspending or revoking their licenses.

Commission Chairwoman Cathy Judd-Stein said commissioners would deliberate in closed sessions and deliver a written statement about what punishment, if any, would occur.
