American Gaming Association Updates Anti-Money Laundering Best Practices, Reinforces Industry Commitment to AML ComplianceReading Time: < 1 minute

 

The American Gaming Association (AGA) released updated Best Practices for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance , which reflect the industry’s leading commitment to compliance and guide casinos’ efforts to protect the U.S. financial system from money laundering and other forms of illicit finance.

In 2014, gaming became the first industry to collectively establish a comprehensive set of best practices for AML compliance. The Best Practices and AGA’s Bank Secrecy Act compliance efforts have been commended by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Based on FinCEN’s guidance and enforcement action takeaways, the Treasury Department’s National Money Laundering Risk Assessment, and the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s updated compliance guidelines, the updated Best Practices contain a more robust risk assessment section, as well as enhanced Know Your Customer/Customer Due Diligence measures.
“As one of the most highly regulated industries in the United States, it is imperative we take every possible step to discourage illicit behavior and safeguard the integrity of the casino industry,” said Bill Miller, president and CEO of the American Gaming Association. “Through our ongoing partnership with FinCEN, the Treasury Department, and law enforcement, our industry continues to be a leader in compliance.”

Additional updates to the Best Practices include:

  • A continued commitment to a strong culture of compliance and the importance of industry engagement with government and law enforcement.
  • A deepened analysis and updated recommendations regarding new and emerging forms of gaming, including the expanding U.S. sports betting market and interactive (mobile) gaming.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Tree of Light: Fabled Fruits, the latest addition to its popular Tree of Light series.

The game is the second installment in Evoplay’s high-performing fantasy series, where players follow the brave adventurer Lupine and his loyal friend Mino as they embark on a journey to find the legendary Tree of Light, which grows the most delicious fruits in the world.

Landing six or more Bonus symbols triggers the Hold & Win feature, where players receive three respins. Every extra bonus symbol resets the counter to three, and the round continues until no respins remain or all 15 positions are filled.

The Bonus Game offers multiple fixed jackpots, including Mini (x25), Minor (x50), Major (x100), and Mega (x200). The Grand Prize (x1,000) is awarded when all reel positions are filled with Bonus symbols (either Cash or Jackpot) during the feature.

To enhance engagement, the Bonus Chance feature allows players to increase their bet by 1.80x for a doubled probability of triggering the Hold & Win game. For instant access, the Bonus Buy feature is available, letting players enter mode directly at x64 the total bet.

With multiple jackpot levels, Tree of Light: Fabled Fruits offers an engaging mix of classic mechanics and strategic gameplay.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “With Tree of Light: Fabled Fruits, we’ve built on the success of the first title in the series by introducing even more engaging features that enhance both excitement and rewards.

“The Hold & Win mechanic, combined with multiple jackpots and flexible bonus options, ensure an immersive experience that appeals to a wide range of players worldwide, especially fans of the fantasy genre.”
