Nevada gaming authorities have accused a Las Vegas casino of violating laws and regulations stemming from its ties to multiple individuals with questionable backgrounds.
At the heart of the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s 12-count disciplinary complaint against Resorts World casino-hotel and its parent company Genting Berhad are claims that the Las Vegas Strip property failed to adhere to and enforce anti-money laundering (AML) provisions.
Due to the gambling industry’s well-documented history with organized crime, the federal government takes AML compliance very seriously. Casinos from Las Vegas to Atlantic City and nearly everywhere in between follow strict AML procedures in order to receive and maintain their state-issued gaming licenses. The penalties for not properly following AML rules range from hefty fines to operational sanctions to license revocation.
