TEVE Wynn’s recent winning streak in court BLOOMBERG is not only positioning the casino mogul to con- Ssolidate control of his empire - it could help him expand into Japan. Courts in Macau and Nevada last month handed Wynn key victories, dismissing a USD1 billion lawsuit by his former business partner Kazuo Oka- da and, according to Wynn’s lawyer, “beheading” the Ja- panese billionaire’s claims in Las Vegas. The two have been feuding since Wynn pushed him out of Wynn Resorts Ltd., alleging he bribed Philippine gaming officials. Wynn has also gained the upper hand against his ex-wife, Elaine Wynn, who claims he or- chestrated her ouster from the company’s board in 2015 in re- taliation for her challenging the “tone at the top” and his “re- ckless mismanagement” of the casino operator. Victories against both would make it harder for anyone to pursue an unsolicited offer for the business - a real concern for Wynn after he was forced to sell Mirage Resorts 17 years ago. And they could help persuade gaming regulators to grant him GAMING a license to open a casino in Ja- pan. “Steve Wynn is an incredible operator and for Japan he will be an asset,” Alan Silver, an in- Wynn on winning streak in dustry veteran who teaches at Ohio University, said by pho- ne. “But regulators will look at everything, and if there are any 5-year feud with former partners skeletons, you got to get them out of the closet.” & Myers LLP in Los Angeles he was shortchanged by $830 feature everything from black- same story from two otherwise Wynn’s streak started in June, who isn’t involved in the litiga- million when he was given a jack tables to entertainment. adversarial parties. when Okada’s own company tion. “If Okada’s side is not on $1.9 billion promissory note The government is currently Like Okada, Elaine Wynn ousted him for misusing funds. the ropes yet, they are getting that he can’t collect until 2022. weighing regulations that cou- contends she’s a victim of Ste- Tokyo-based Universal En- close to being on the ropes.” J.
