Scott Sibella, a former executive at MGM Resorts International and Genting, is facing the possibility of losing his gaming license due to his involvement in a betting scandal. Sibella, who was once the president of MGM Grand in Las Vegas and later the president of Resorts World Las Vegas, has been accused of participating in illegal gambling activities that violate Nevada gaming regulations.
According to sources close to the situation, Sibella was allegedly caught placing large bets on sporting events through an illegal bookmaking operation. The operation was reportedly run by a group of individuals with ties to organized crime, and Sibella was said to have been a frequent participant in their betting activities.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board has launched an investigation into the matter, and Sibella’s gaming license is now in jeopardy. If he is found to have violated any state gaming regulations, he could face fines, license suspension, or even revocation.

In a statement released through his attorney, Sibella denied any wrongdoing and vowed to cooperate fully with the investigation. He maintained that he has always operated with integrity and adhered to all legal and ethical standards in his professional career.
The betting scandal involving Sibella has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry, with many questioning how such a high-profile executive could become embroiled in such a scandal.
