Nevada Fines Resorts World Las Vegas $10.5 Million Over Illegal Bookmakers

The Nevada Gaming Commission voted 4-0 to adopt a $10.5 million settlement with Resorts World Las Vegas over anti-money-laundering failures tied to illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer, the second-largest fine in the state's gaming history.

The Nevada Gaming Commission approved the $10.5 million fine on a 4-0 vote on 27 March 2025, with commissioner Abbi Silver recusing herself over a relationship with former Resorts World president Scott Sibella^[1][3].
The penalty, over historic anti-money-laundering violations, is the second-largest in Nevada gaming history, behind Wynn Resorts' $20 million in 2019^[1].
The scandal centres on Mathew Bowyer, a California illegal bookmaker with some 700 clients, among them Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter; Bowyer was then awaiting federal sentencing^[1].
Resorts World also took licence conditions, including extra reporting requirements and AML reviews^[1].
It was the first of three Strip operators fined over Bowyer in 2025; MGM Resorts followed in April^[2].
