20 Nov 2025 Caesars Entertainment, Inc. / Desert Palace, LLC (Caesars Palace)Nevada: 7.8 million USD against Caesars over gambling by an illegal bookmaker €6.77m
On 13 November 2025, the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) filed a disciplinary complaint for unsuitable methods of operation in connection with the illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer and at the same time concluded a settlement of 7.8 million USD with conditions attached to the gaming licences. The conditions relate primarily to improving the AML programme and to additional training and awareness-raising for employees; the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) adopted the settlement as its order on 20 November 2025 (Case No. 25-03).
Casino staff must recognise high-risk players and unexplained sources of funds – revenue interests must not override AML obligations.

22 Oct 2024 Sahara Dunes Casino, LP (Lake Elsinore Hotel and Casino)FinCEN: 900,000 USD against Lake Elsinore card club over missing reports €831,716
The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) imposed 900,000 USD on the Californian card club, which admitted wilful infringements over more than four and a half years: no effective AML programme, missing currency transaction reports (CTR) and suspicious activity reports (SAR), and record-keeping deficiencies. The infringements stemmed from decisions by management.
Even small casinos and card clubs must file currency transaction reports and suspicious activity reports without gaps – management decisions to the contrary are considered wilful.
