Casino regulators: Wynn suit will be dismissed soon

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts gambling regulators are expecting the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by casino mogul Steve Wynn soon.

State Gaming Commission Chairwoman Cathy Judd-Stein said Thursday the panel has done its part to finalize a settlement in the Nevada suit, which seeks to block the release of Massachusetts' investigation into allegations Wynn engaged in sexual misconduct with female employees.

The commission said the long-awaited report will be made public when it holds hearings on Wynn Resorts' suitability to continue holding a state casino license.

The company is slated to open a $2 billion resort near Boston in June. The Nevada Gaming Commission recently levied a $20 million fine on the company for failing to investigate the misconduct allegations.

Steve Wynn resigned as company CEO in 2018 and has denied the allegations.

Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.
