Three Strikes, Not Out<\/strong><\/h2>\nCGT operates sports books at major Strip casinos, including The Cosmopolitan, The Hard Rock, The Palms, The Tropicana and The Venetian. This was the third time the company had been hauled in front of Nevada regulators in five years. The\u00a0NGC had made it clear that this could be a case of three strikes and you\u2019re out and was prepared to make CGT sweat.<\/p>\n
Its most recent infractions include accepting bets from outside the state on its Nevada-only mobile sports betting app, taking wagers after events had finished, making incorrect payouts to 1,483 customers, and \u201cmisconfiguring\u201d a satellite sports betting station for a Super Bowl party at an unnamed Las Vegas casino.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe regulator broke with protocol in August when it rejected the $250,000 settlement that had been recommended for approval by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB).<\/p>\n
It was the first time in 10 years that the NGC had rejected an NGCB recommendation in a disciplinary matter.<\/p>\n
Appetites Satisfied <\/strong><\/h2>\nIn doing so, NGC Chairman Tony Alamo said his comfort level with CGT was \u201czero\u201d and he had \u201czero appetite to move forward with this settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two million dollars helped Alamo regain his appetite.<\/p>\n
Under the new settlement, CGT has agreed to hire a corporate social responsibility officer, who will report to the CEO. The NGCB has also recommended that the company scrap \u201cevery component\u201d of its wagering technology and partner with a third-party provider within the next six months.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nOf the $2 million payment, $1.75 million will go to the NGC and $250,000 to the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are satisfied with the resolution agreed to today by the commission,\u201d CGT CEO Parikshat Khanna said in an official statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remain committed to the Nevada sports book business and the long-term partnerships we have established with some of the finest resort operators in the world. Additionally, we look forward to the growth prospects of the industry nationwide,\u201d Khanna added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
