MGM Resorts International has agreed to pay a fine of $ 8.5 million to resolve a complaint filed by Nevada Casino Regulators.
On Friday, Nevada Gaming Control Board announced that MGM had signed a decommissioning on 10-bill, 29-page complaints that accuse the casino giant to allow two illegal bookmakers to play from 2015 to 2018 at MGM Grand and Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
The Nevada Gaming Commission will consider approving the settlement next Thursday in a meeting in Las Vegas.
The complaint claims an inappropriate operating method by enabling former baseball players in less league and illegal Bookmaker Wayne Nix and illegal Bookmaker Mathew Bowyer to play in the two casinos.
Both have relied on illegal gaming fees in California.
The complaint was established in investigations conducted by the Board and the US law office for the Central District of California and implies deficiencies in MGM’s anti-money wash program.
