In a significant ruling, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has ordered Casino Woodbine to pay a C$80,000 fine for failing to prevent a dealer collusion scheme involving electronic craps. The regulatory review exposed multiple shortcomings in the casino’s oversight, including ignoring internal warnings and a lack of appropriate supervision. While Casino Woodbine has fully cooperated with AGCO and has pledged to address the highlighted deficiencies, the ruling serves as a stern reminder to the gaming industry of the vital importance of effective internal controls to safeguard against criminal activities.
