What is the difference between the Division of Gaming Enforcement and the Casino Control Commission?
The Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) is the investigative and law enforcement arm of the Casino Control Commission. The DGE is a component of the Department of Justice and is under the direct supervision of the Attorney General. The Casino Control Commission regulates casino gaming in the Virgin Islands. When dealing with license applications or regulatory violations, the Division of Gaming Enforcement acts as the police/prosecuting agency while the Casino Control Commission acts in a quasi-judicial manner, ruling on those applications and assessing penalties for any regulatory violations.
