The Commonwealth Casino Commission will be hiring 25 personnel as the regulator prepares for the opening of a casino in Garapan.
Commission executive director Edward Deleon Guerrero said the 25 personnel are expected to occupy 17 different job positions.
An advertisement from the commission indicated 12 administrative positions, nine positions for enforcement, and four audit and compliance positions.
Deleon Guerrero said the regulators are “hoping to expeditiously start the interview process, then provide training for the additional personnel.”
Deleon Guerrero said the commission’s division on investigation and enforcement will have an office at the T-Galleria where the casino is located.
“This is basically the regulatory monitoring staff,” Deleon Guerrero said, adding that the commission’s office at the T-Galleria will be open “24×7” and will be manned round the clock on three shifts.
“We will have our own surveillance monitors within the facility,” Deleon Guerrero said.
He said the commission is setting up “a lot of training” for the enforcement division and will try to provide the training early.
Deleon Guerrero said there was no definite date yet on the opening of the temporary casino being setup by Best Sunshine International, Ltd. although it was earlier reported that the opening was supposed to be this July.
But the official said, “most of the slot machines are already there and are already being assembled.”
He said the regulators are also conducting weekly meetings with Best Sunshine for updates.
Deleon Guerrero also confirmed that the casino commission is working with the Department of Public Safety, Division of Customs, the Office of Public Auditor, and other enforcement agencies to plan for an “ongoing task force to monitor this new industry.”
