Members of the Commonwealth Casino Commission have unanimously approved the appointment of Andrew Yeom as a Commonwealth Casino Commission executive director.

Commonwealth Casino Commission executive director Andrew Yeom has argued that House Local Bill 22-26, which would strip Imperial Pacific International of its exclusive casino license, is unconstitutional.

Commonwealth Casino Commission (CCC) executive director Andrew Yeom revealed under the draft stipulation agreement, Imperial Pacific International (IPI) will pay a total of $24 million in 2024.

Saipan’s Commonwealth Casino Commission has re-appointed Andrew Yeom as its Executive Director, conditionally for two months due to the group’s lack of funding.

Andrew Yeom, the executive director of the Commonwealth Casino Commission said the CNMI could generate as much as $449.4 million from online gaming by 2025.

Saipan casino regulator Andrew Yeom says that the commission is “definitely moving in the direction” of having IPI’s license cancelled. 

Commonwealth Casino Commission executive director Andrew Yeom says the commission has received a number of inquiries from interested parties in Saipan’s casino license, should IPI’s one be revoked. 

Commonwealth Casino Commission executive director Andrew Yeom says the $2 million it will receive from the government will not be enough to run the regulatory body, adding it would be better if there were more casinos on Saipan.

Commonwealth Casino Commission executive director Andrew Yeom has asked the commissioners to suspend the casino license of Imperial Pacific International, which has racked up 16,165 regulatory violations. 

Imperial Pacific International has a February 28 deadline to finish building the Imperial Pacific Resort but, as that date draws closer, it is now clear that IPI won’t be able to meet that deadline—a situation that Commonwealth Casino Commission Executive Director Andrew Yeom finds “alarming.”
