Nevada board recommends Michael Gaughan III for renewed casino licence

Licences & markets

Nevada gaming regulators recommended Michael Gaughan III for a new licence tied to his ownership share in Stockman’s Casino, reportedly after he took nine months to provide requested information. Board chair Mike Dreitzer sought a referral for possible discipline, but the other two members did not support that step; Gaughan apologised and cited difficulties retrieving records after a cyberfraud incident.

The licensing recommendation and possible discipline put Gaughan’s regulatory oversight of Stockman’s Casino in focus.
