Roberts will oversee all compliance matters at Resorts World Las Vegas, the group said in a statement this week. This includes regulatory compliance, registration and licensing, anti-money laundering, responsible gaming and technical compliance.
She joins after serving as vice president and general counsel at mobile sports betting and igaming operator WynnBET. Roberts also founded and ran her own gaming law firm, Roberts Gaming Law, between April 2016 and March 2021.
Earlier in her career, Roberts was general counsel and vice president, legal & compliance at GameCo. She was also director of sports gaming regulation for the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation.
Aside from this, Roberts worked as associate director and interim executive director of the International Center for Gaming Regulation at University of Nevada Las Vegas. In addition, she served as a partner at both Lionel Sawyer & Collins and Duane Morris.
Roberts Set For ‘Key Role’ at Resorts World Las Vegas
“I am thrilled to join this stellar team of professionals and help drive the continued development of a best-in-class compliance program,” Roberts said.
“I want to thank the leadership team for this opportunity and look forward to working closely with them as we build on the significant progress already made.”
Resorts World Las Vegas CEO Alex Dixon said Roberts will play a “key role” in improving compliance at the operator.
“Her deep expertise in gaming law and understanding of the casino regulatory environment makes her uniquely positioned to continue our efforts to build and sustain a robust, world-class compliance program,” Dixon said.
“Integrity, commitment and ethics are critical components of the culture for us. Jennifer will play a key role in further strengthening our compliance program, ensuring it is appropriately designed, resourced, tested and empowered to promote a culture of compliance.”
Roberts is the second senior appointment this month for the operator. Earlier in April, it also named industry veteran Greg Shulman as executive vice president of international marketing.
