The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Oct. 24, edition that Great Canadian Gaming chief executive officer Rod Baker says procedures
to ensure compliance with regulations
are strictly followed.
A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Mr. Baker says Great Canadian has a "culture of
integrity and transparency" and is
committed to preventing illegal activities, including
the River Rock Casino in
Richmond, B.C. Last month, the B.C. government
announced an independent expert's
review of the province's policies in
the gambling industry after concerns
were raised about the possibility
of money laundering at the River
Rock casino.
Attorney-General David Eby said
he launched the probe after reading
a report about the casino accepting
$13.5-million in $20 bills in July, 2015,
that police said could be proceeds of
crime involving Asian VIP clients.
Mr. Baker says Great Canadian initially
detected suspicious activity at
the casino in 2012 and that its continuing
monitoring and reporting to
the B.C. Lottery Corp. was crucial to
identifying the individuals allegedly
involved.
The company provides records
about unusual and large cash transactions
directly to the lottery corporation.
