Resorts World casino in Las Vegas just got hit with a bad beat … as the venue was fined $10.5 million in connection to a money laundering case involving a bookmaker who took thousands of bets for Shohei Ohtani‘s former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board dropped the news on Friday … saying  the two sides entered into a settlement over the “unsuitable methods of operation primarily resulting from activities at the licensed property by illegal bookmakers Matthew Bowyer and Damien LeForbes.”

Along with the fine … the Vegas location will be making changes to its executive leadership and implementing stricter protocols to prevent money laundering, but it will not have to admit or deny any of the allegations made against it.

He pled guilty to those crimes … and was sentenced to 57 months in prison. He initially faced 33 years behind bars.

The family of actress Kim Sae-ron — who died by suicide in February — is firing off at a Korean screen star who they claim groomed their daughter … revealing texts he allegedly sent her when he was an adult and she was still underage.

The family’s attorney held a press conference Thursday … sharing messages allegedly sent in 2016 between 15-year-old Kim Sae-ron and Kim Soo-hyun, who was 28 when the lawyer claims the messages were sent.

Written in Korean, these texts translate to seemingly inappropriate messages between the two … with Kim Soo-hyun saying he wants to kiss and hug Kim Sae-ron through the night.

Kim Soo-hyun and his team denied the allegations in a statement to the Korea Times … saying he only began dating after Kim Sae-ron turned 18.

Kim Sae-ron was reportedly also under pressure to repay a nearly $500K loan to Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist.

As we told you … Kim Sae-ron was found dead in her home in Seoul back in February — and, cops ultimately ruled the death a suicide.

Kim Sae-ron appeared in flicks like “The Man from Nowhere” and “The Neighbor.” Kim Soo-hyun has starred in movies like “Real” and shows like “Queen of Tears.”

Pastor to the stars John Gray III is reacting to Marvin Sapp‘s viral Church donation request — telling ushers to close the doors until the congregation coughs up $40,000 — and he says culture and context are key.

John tells TMZ … Marvin is a good friend of his and he’s seen a lot worse donation requests in other churches.

Pastor Gray says he understands why folks who weren’t at the service are upset with the way Marvin went about raising money — asking everyone in the crowd for $20 — and he tells us why culture and context are being left out of the conversation in sole favor of optics.

Tons of celebs follow Pastor Gray … Kourtney Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Chris Pratt, Russell Wilson and Patrick Schwarzenegger just to name a few … and he tells us his church does reverse offerings where they put baskets of cash out and tell worshipers to take what they need to pay bills.
