Nevada regulator stepping up Macau junket scrutiny
A source told the newspaper that the Nevada regulators have stepped up their scrutiny of Macau junket operators over the past six months in order to assess their suitability and to investigate their alleged connections to organized crime. The source declined to say what companies are under scrutiny or to cite any evidence.
Nevada law allows state-licensed casino companies to operate overseas without prior vetting from regulators but bars the companies from bringing “disrepute” to the state. The Las Vegas-based International Union of Operating Engineers last month called on the Nevada gaming regulators to investigate the relationship between Macau VIP gaming promoter Neptune and Las Vegas-based casino companies operating in Macau.
The IUOE alleges that “Neptune and its affiliates are ‘unsuitable’ based on their myriad ties to reputed triad leader Cheung Chi Tai, his family and his small, close-knit network of business associates.”
