Regulators Want Steve Wynn Banned

Nevada gaming regulators are moving to have Steve Wynn banned from holding a state gaming license. Mr. Wynn has been accused of committing a series of sexual misconduct acts against his employees.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board lodged a 23-page complaint on Monday alleging Wynn “is not a person of good character, honesty, and/or integrity” and that he is “unsuitable” The complaint cites numerous allegations about Wynn’s sexually harassment of employees who were dependent on him for their livelihood, and that he covered it up through confidential, sometimes large financial settlements.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board is also asking the Nevada Gaming Commission to impose a monetary fine on Wynn for each of the five counts laid out in the complaint, including his refusal to appear in person at an investigatory hearing that was scheduled in September. In Nevada’s two-tier casino regulation system, the commission has “full and absolute power” to revoke any finding that a person is suitable to hold a casino license in the state.
