A Brief Overview of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Process

  • A conduct proceeding will be initiated by the Conduct Officer. 澳门赌场 fact finding process will focus on gathering all of the pertinent information necessary to determine whether or not a violation of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Code occurred.
  • An investigative interview will be scheduled for the respondent to review the alleged violation(s) of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Code and the report with the Conduct Officer.
  • During the investigative interview, the respondent is provided with an overview of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Process and their rights.
