Should the Nevada Gaming Commission approve the settlement, it would mark the second-largest penalty ever imposed in the state’s gaming history—surpassed only by the $20 million fine issued to Wynn Resorts in February 2019.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) has put forward a proposed fine of US$10.5 million (approximately £8.3 million) against Resorts World Las Vegas (RWLV) in response to alleged failures relating to anti-money laundering (AML) protocols.
Should the Nevada Gaming Commission approve the settlement, it would mark the second-largest penalty ever imposed in the state’s gaming history—surpassed only by the $20 million fine issued to Wynn Resorts in February 2019.
Alongside the financial penalty, RWLV could also be subject to a series of licensing conditions. These may include a requirement to submit regular reports on AML efforts directly to the NGCB.
The proposal follows a formal complaint made in August 2024 by the NGCB against RWLV and its parent company, highlighting numerous alleged compliance failures. Among the concerns raised were links to bookmakers Mathew Bowyer and Damien Leforbes, both of whom are currently facing charges related to money laundering.
