Nevada Gaming Commission Moves to Revoke Scott Sibella’s Gaming License Amid Money Laundering Investigation

in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Compliance

Scott Sibella, the former president and COO of Resorts World Las Vegas, is facing the revocation of his gaming license following a settlement at a Nevada Gaming Commission meeting. The case marks a significant point in a broader, ongoing global effort to combat money laundering within the casino industry.

Sibella pleaded guilty to federal charges related to his failure to report illegal gambling activity at the MGM Grand in 2018. He was accused of allowing a known illegal bookmaker Wayne Nix to place wagers at the casino and failing to file a suspicious activity report concerning the source of Nix’s funds. Sibella was sentenced to probation and fined in connection with the case.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) filed a disciplinary complaint against Resorts World in August, accusing the casino of facilitating illegal bookmakers with alleged ties to organized crime. The NGCB investigation revealed that individuals associated with criminal organizations were permitted to place large wagers at the casino, with the resort allegedly failing to follow anti-money laundering (AML) protocols.

This case is part of a broader trend of increased scrutiny over money laundering practices in the global casino industry. In September, Wynn Resorts agreed to forfeit $130 million to settle criminal charges for its involvement with unlicensed money-transmitting businesses. This follows a decade of similar issues in Australia, where casinos such as Crown and Star Entertainment have faced substantial fines and regulatory action due to lapses in AML procedures.

The focus on combating money laundering was a key topic at the recent Gaming Law Conference in Las Vegas, where experts, including former IRS special agent Paul Camacho, highlighted how international criminal organizations exploit casinos to launder funds. These criminal activities, involving both Chinese and Mexican money-laundering schemes, have been linked to various illegal practices such as human trafficking and the distribution of illicit drugs.

The Nevada Gaming Commission continues to educate casinos on the importance of adhering to both federal and state laws surrounding AML compliance, emphasizing the role of casinos in preventing financial crimes. Industry experts have stressed the need for robust compliance programs and the responsibility of executives to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.

As the industry grapples with these challenges, regulators and casinos are working to improve oversight, training, and protocols to mitigate the risk of illegal activity and protect the integrity of the gaming sector.
