The drug trafficker had paid Koen $31,500 before he began cooperating with the FBI, prosecutors said.
Koen was arrested after prosecutors said the FBI recorded him accepting a $9,000 bribe from the trafficker inside a Las Vegas casino.

Pre-tax profits at the Gibraltar-based business tumbled by two-thirds to £14.4million in the first half of 2022 as loosening Covid restrictions and stricter safety measures led to a decline in Britons gambling online.

"With the opening of Crown Sydney, we hold deep concerns about the gambling harm its operations will cause, and we are fearful that the NSW government will not put in place strong enough measures to protect people, their families and communities across the state."

"VR poker is probably one of the most realistic games, because it really does capture the sadness of being in a casino at three in the morning, where it's you and five other people from around the globe gambling with fake money."

Prosecutors say Gonzalez Benitez also had worked as an informant for DEA Agent Nathan Koen and paid the agent thousands of dollars in bribes to help provide "top cover protection" for the drug operation.

"Crown Sydney is pitched as an 'exclusive high roller' venue, but with minimum table game bets starting from as low as $20, the casino will be accessible to many more people than they imply, increasing harm to the community," he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A convicted California drug trafficker who paid bribes to a corrupt Drug Enforcement Administration agent has been sentenced by a Florida judge to more than 11 years in federal prison.

Chief executive Itai Pazner said: 'The combination with William Hill, which we completed soon after the period end, transformed the group and creates very strong foundations to support our ambitious growth plans.'

Attorney Roger B. Handberg said in a news release Tuesday that a judge in Jacksonville, Florida, imposed the sentence on Francisco Gonzalez Benitez, 37, of Orange, California. Gonzalez Benitez pleaded guilty to drug and money laundering charges in April.

The centrepiece of the reform will be the establishment of the NSW Independent Casino Commission, which will have enhanced and wide-ranging compliance and enforcement powers likely to extend beyond the existing powers of the existing authority.

888 had previously attempted to buy William Hill with Mecca Bingo owner Rank Group for £3.6billion in 2016 before abandoning the effort after being told their offer was too low and required massive debts to fund the purchase. 

Court documents show Gonzalez Benitez admitted shipping large quantities of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and methamphetamine from California to Jacksonville and Little Rock, Arkansas, between 2016 and 2019.

One of my favorite comedians is Roy Wood Jr. Since 2015, he's been a correspondent on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, where he consistently and expertly mixes satire and social commentary with things that are just stupid funny. On Friday, Oct. 29, his new stand-up special, Roy Wood Jr.: Imperfect Messenger, premieres on Comedy Central.

Apart from his Daily Show duties, Wood is an accomplished stand-up comic, with two previous one-hour specials under his belt: 2017's Father Figure and 2019's Noboby Loves You. He's also an actor and has been on shows like Space Force, Better Call Saul and The Last OG. And he hosts two podcasts: Roy's Job Fair and The Daily Show's Beyond the Scenes.

She Zhijiang, 40, a Chinese national who also holds a Cambodian passport, was arrested last week based on an international warrant and an Interpol red notice, Thailand's deputy police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said.

According to media reports, She is the chairman of Yatai International Holdings Group, which has made gaming investments in Cambodia, the Philippines and, most recently, developed the $15 billion casino, entertainment and tourism complex in Myanmar's Kayin State called Shwe Kokko.

"Social media is me, but only in my happiest and purest form. For the most part, if you go through my social media feed, I don't express anger. I don't express disappointment. I consider those emotions to be private. And so more often than not, I'm just not going to fucking talk about those things," said Wood. "For the most part, social media for me is a place to unplug."
