Former acting chief executive Geoff Hogg admitted Star wasn't fully up-front with the Queensland regulator when it changed a policy in order to conceal $55million in banned transactions from a Chinese bank.

Alexander's girlfriend was wearing a bikini top from the brand  in the clip, which Alexander is the CEO of and who is the original poster of the viral video - leaving some to question if the moment was real or faked.

'I will say that this case is definitely a time to remind parents that it's very important to know who your children are friends with, whether that's in the classroom, social media apps, Snapchat, TikTok and then also gaming platforms.' 

He also claims the companies paid him near-daily bonuses totaling $30,000 a month to keep him playing and to entice him not to report problems with the games to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

She replied that she was 'dealing with the report before us which deals with recommendations around casinos and there's enough in this report to keep me busy, particularly with the finding of unsuitability. 

Mr Gotterson found the company guilty of a serious dereliction of its anti-money laundering responsibilities, deliberately misled the regulator and had poor corporate culture with a 'one-eyed focus' on profit at the expense of patrons.

Crowds gathered at the Rogers Centre on Sunday to watch the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Boston Red Sox, and while fans expected a great game, what they didn't expect was to see a marriage proposal go south. 

TORONTO -- Right-hander Luis Castillo pitched 7 1/3 innings, Cal Raleigh homered and the visiting Seattle Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 Friday in the opener of an American League wild-card series.

'I've been in prison once, and I'm probably facing prison again, and it all had to do with me not being able to admit to myself I was a compulsive gambler,' Antar said in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday.

In a July 17, 2019 text and email conversation, Antar quotes one as telling him 'other players are not getting anywhere near what you are getting' in terms of compensation for being kicked offline while gambling.

TOKYO, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Sony Group Corp's gaming business is looking at fresh investment to bolster its push into PC and mobile, a senior executive said, as the PlayStation 5 maker competes for talent with deep-pocketed rivals and as industry dealmaking heats up.

Antar played live dealer blackjack and online slots, sometimes for 24 hours straight, he said in his lawsuit; he bet more than $5 million in one 16-day period in January 2020.
During the nine month period covered in the suit, he made more than 100,000 online bets.

In his lawsuit, Antar claims he alerted numerous employees and officials with the gambling companies to the fact that there was a serious, recurring problem with disconnections, but that they knowingly kept malfunctioning games available to the public because they were too profitable to take down.

Mr Gotterson has made 12 recommendations to tighten controls in the state's casino industry, including for venues to go cashless with patrons to use cards linked to their identification and set with loss limits before they start gambling.

Antar is a convicted fraudster who faces the prospect of additional prison time in November for a scheme in which he cheated friends and relatives of money he used to feed his compulsive gambling habit.

'The Star does under the legislation have an opportunity, natural justice, to put forward a case about what should happen next so I don't want to preempt that but it is open to government to cancel their license, to suspend their license,' she said. 

Sam Antar is the nephew of Eddie Antar (pictured right in 1992), who founded the Crazy Eddie electronics stores in the 1970s and 1980s, who defrauded investors out of more than $74million. Eddie Antar died in 2016

The suit also references an October 8, pkv poker 2019 text message from an MGM representative that read, 'OK, let's do this: I need you (to) email me that we are closing the case and that you will no longer contact (the Borgata president) or the DGE about the case,' referring to the Division of Gaming Enforcement.

"You should think of collaborations on the game development side first and foremost, but it's also not unthinkable with our PlayStation Productions efforts that we explore opportunities," Hulst said of the FromSoftware investment.

Hulst, who is based in the Netherlands and took up his post in 2019, has overseen the growth of PlayStation Studios to 19 studios, with additions including Nixxes, which ports console games to PC, and mobile developer Savage Game Studios.

Sony, whose studios are known for single player console games such as "Spider-Man" and "God of War", has outlined ambitious plans to release titles on PC and mobile and offer live service games, which provide continuous updated play.

Sony is producing a growing number of game adaptations, with this year's "Uncharted" movie grossing more than $400 million globally and a TV series based on "The Last of Us" franchise from its Naughty Dog studio launching on HBO next year.
