Elaine Wynn to testify before the Mass. Gaming Commission

The hearings to determine whether or not Wynn Resorts should be allowed to continue in Massachusetts are expected to begin this week. Organized by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), the casino operator is going to be put under the microscope for allowing its founder and former CEO, Steve Wynn, to lead an alleged lifestyle of sexual impropriety against employees in the organization. One of those to testify during the hearings is Elaine Wynn, Steve Wynn’s ex-wife.

After Steve Wynn resigned from the company early last year, Elaine, now the largest shareholder in the company, stepped in to right the ship. She will be involved heavily in the hearings, which are expected to get underway today.

The MGC is expected to discuss, among other things, the findings from an investigation led by the commission’s Investigations and Enforcement Bureau regarding whether or not executives at Wynn Resorts intentionally covered up Steve Wynn’s activity when the company was applying for a gambling license in Massachusetts in 2013.

Earlier this year, Wynn Resorts reached a deal with the Nevada Gaming Control Board over the Steve Wynn debacle. It admitted at the time that some executives at the company were aware of the former leader’s improprieties, and that those individuals had been let go. However, that affirmation only fueled the case against the company that it was aware all along of what Steve Wynn was doing.
