Nevada regulators have imposed a hefty fine of $10.5 million on Resorts World casino in Las Vegas for engaging in illegal gambling activities. The allegations involved facilitating individuals associated with unlawful bookmaking and those with prior gambling-related felony convictions, particularly focusing on a bookmaker linked to Shohei Ohtani's baseball interpreter. The fine, the second-largest ever by the Nevada Gaming Commission, resolved a complaint filed by the Gaming Control Board accusing the casino of allowing such practices. Resorts World neither admitted nor denied the accusations but agreed to revamp its leadership and enhance measures to prevent money laundering under the settlement agreement. The casino is yet to comment on the matter. The accusations mainly revolved around Mathew Bowyer, a bookmaker from Southern California, who took numerous sports bets from Ohtani's former interpreter. Bowyer has pleaded guilty in a federal court to operating an illicit gambling operation. The gaming board alleged that Resorts World permitted Bowyer to frequent the casino for an extended period without properly verifying his funding source. Bowyer incurred significant losses at the casino while receiving gifts, discounts, and jet flights from the establishment. The complaint initially included twelve charges against Resorts World, half of which related to Bowyer, citing failures to cut ties with suspected illegal bookmakers, negligence in reporting suspicious activities, and promoting connections to outlawed bookmakers. Additionally, the casino extended substantial credit to individuals with criminal backgrounds involving illegal gambling operations, such as internet gambling enterprises, as highlighted in the complaint.
