Gambling regulators in 2 states reviewing Wynn allegations
BOSTON — Massachusetts gambling regulators are holding a special meeting Wednesday to discuss sexual misconduct allegations against casino magnate Steve Wynn, whose company is building a $2.4 billion casino outside Boston.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission will receive an update on an investigation Wednesday, a day after Nevada’s Gaming Control Board said that it had opened an investigation into Wynn.
Republican Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said if the allegations are true, Wynn would “fail to meet the suitability standard under the state gaming law.”
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that a number of women said they were harassed or assaulted by Wynn, and that one case led to a $7.5 million settlement. The 76-year-old Wynn has denied the allegations.
