MGM Resorts International, along with Aria Resort faces a two count complaint filed by the Gaming Commission and Control Board of the state of Nevada. This is in line with the blockage of two gaming agents appointed by the state tasked to observe wagering activity in the resort’s City Center area. The high limit area of the online casino prime operator is one of the hot spots in the gambling industry particularly on the Strip. According to reports based on the Nevada gaming law, the fined bookmakers will receive from $25,000 to $250,000 sanctions for each count. The aforementioned amount is particularly sanctioned for Aria Resort. This is an obligatory fine to be paid unless the parties reach a settlement.
The hearing is set to discuss and settle the matter however no fixed date is yet determined, according to statement from sources. The Gaming Commission of Nevada will preside over the soon to be scheduled hearing. Based on online casino data, 50% of City Center is managed and owned by MGM Resorts while Aria Resorts operates the venue. City Center is dubbed as the Strip development’s centerpiece. As per the complaint filed by the regulators of Nevada, the gaming agents were blocked while observing two customers playing on the Salon Prive roulette table of Aria. There is no disclosed information as to the identity of the agents but reports say they were roughly 5 to 7 feet away from the mentioned roulette table. Moreover, the agents were told by the supervisor of Aria that their players resent being watched.
The floor supervisor of Aria also said that security will be summoned in order to block the board agents from the roulette table if necessary as according to them, “observation of the game is not welcome.” MGM Resorts, prime gambling operator on the Strip was given a warning in the past regarding a similar violation particularly their other luxury brands in 2010. Thus, according to the Control Board and Gaming Commission of the state of Nevada, the company is already “historically aware” that the public must have access to gaming. Nevada regulators emphasized failure to comply with proper gaming standards.
