Malaysian gaming giant Genting Bhd said on Friday it was working to resolve compliance issues at its integrated Nevada resort, Resorts World Las Vegas (RWLV), after being served with a disciplinary complaint from the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) last week.

As reported by About Asian GamingThe complaint alleges that RWLV and Genting failed in their duties as holders of a privileged Nevada gaming license by allowing individuals with suspected or proven ties to illegal activities to gamble on the property. Specifically, it details how agents uncovered a lack of compliance at Resorts World Las Vegas (RWLV), which, according to the NGCB, enabled a culture that welcomed “certain individuals with suspected or actual ties to illegal bookmaking, prior histories of federal felony convictions related to illegal gaming operations, and ties to organized crime.”

These individuals were allowed to place millions of dollars in bets at RWLV for many months because the company on the North Strip did not adhere to its anti-money laundering program.

The NGCB’s recommendations to the Nevada Gaming Commission include that it fine RWLV and Genting for any violation of the Nevada Gaming Control Act or the Commission’s regulations, take action against their license registration and eligibility under the licensing requirements, and consider appointing a supervisor should the Commission revoke or suspend RWLV’s unrestricted gaming license.

Genting Bhd responded by saying that its companies “take any indication of violations very seriously.”

“Genting and its subsidiaries are committed to conducting their business with the utmost integrity and in accordance with applicable laws and industry guidelines.

“The Defendants have sought legal advice regarding the Complaint and RWLV LLC is actively seeking to communicate with the NGCB.

“Genting and RWLV LLC look forward to addressing the issues raised by the NGCB and continuing to ensure that Resorts World Las Vegas’ business practices meet all regulatory and legal requirements.”

NGCB Chairman Kirk Hendrick said last week that the board is “committed to protecting the state of Nevada, its citizens and visitors, and Nevada’s vital gaming industry.”
