Nevada gaming regulators have intensified their scrutiny following a guilty plea by Scott Sibella, a key player in a high-profile investigation involving illegal sports betting at major casinos including MGM Grand, Resorts World, and Cosmopolitan. Sibella pleaded guilty to federal crimes. The investigation, which has gained increasing attention, also revealed that casinos have been making non-prosecution agreements and paying fines to protect current executives. This development comes after a member of the Gaming Control Board previously cleared Sibella, raising questions about the oversight effectiveness. Meanwhile, Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg has publicly commented on the situation, though his specific statements were not detailed.
