Nevada Gaming Control Board advances AML rules for casino operators

Regulation

Nevada casino compliance officers discussed new anti-money-laundering rules approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission in April.

MGM Resorts’ Stephen Martino said the funding restriction could affect gaming revenue.

Operators must adjust AML oversight and payment controls, with a new funding restriction due in late October.
