IAG MAY 2019年5月 亞博匯 22 亞博匯早報 BREAKFAST BRIEFS NEVADA GAMING CONTROL BOARD FINDS MATT MADDOX SUITABLE TO LEAD WYNN RESORTS WYNN Resorts has received a much-needed boost in the wake of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s recent three-day license hearing, with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) officially declaring CEO Matt Maddox suitable to hold office. In a statement, Wynn revealed it had received written confirmation from the NGCB that Maddox, who is also CEO and Executive Director of Wynn Macau, had been “found suitable as an officer of Wynn Resorts Limited in Nevada in January 2010 and remains in good standing with the Nevada Gaming Control Board.” The vote of confidence comes despite the Nevada Gaming Commission slapping Wynn Resorts with a US$20 million fine in February for its failure to investigate claims of sexual harassment by multiple women against the company’s founder and former Chairman Steve Wynn. At the time of publication, Wynn Resorts was still awaiting the findings of its Massachusetts hearing to determine whether the company is allowed to retain its state gaming license ahead of the June opening of its US$2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor. Maddox was one of numerous Wynn executives to be grilled by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission during the hearing. 內華達州博彩控制局 確認Matt Maddox可擔任 永利渡假村的新任掌舵人 經過 三天的博彩牌照聆訊後，永利渡假村在執照一事中取得新進展， 麻州博彩委員會與內華達州博彩控制局（NGCB）正式表明行政總裁 Matt Maddox 適合擔任永利的新掌舵。 永利在聲明中透露已收到NGCB的書面確定，現任永利澳門行政 總裁兼執行董事的Maddox「在2010年一月加入內華達州永利渡假村 有限公司後一直表現良好，與內華達州博彩控制局保持良好合作關 係。」 儘管今年2月永利渡假村就公司創始人兼前董事長 Steve Wynn 對多名女性作騷擾行為，但並未對指控做出調查一事被內華達州博彩 控制局處以2千萬美元罰款，但該局仍對永利投以信任票。 當時永利仍在等待麻州博彩委員會的聆訊結果，以決定永利是 否獲准在6月斥資26億美元興建的 Encore Boston Harbor 前成功續 牌。Maddox作為永利其中一名高管，聆訊期間亦須接受麻州博彩委 員會的質詢。
