Complex schemes can be important in casinos because they can, in some cases, be used by criminal organizations to launder money or engage in other forms of illegal activity. These schemes can involve multiple parties, complex financial transactions, and the use of various techniques to obscure the true source, ownership, or purpose of the funds involved.

That's absolutely correct. Complex schemes can indeed be used by criminals to launder money in casinos. Money laundering involves the process of making illegally obtained money appear as if it was obtained through legitimate means. Casinos are attractive venues for money launderers due to the large volumes of cash transactions that take place and the various ways in which funds can be moved around and exchanged.
Complex schemes can involve multiple steps, such as structuring transactions to avoid triggering reporting thresholds, using intermediaries to move funds, or engaging in high-stakes gambling with illicit funds. These activities can make it difficult for law enforcement agencies to track and detect the illicit origin of the funds, allowing criminals to "clean" their money and integrate it back into the legitimate economy.
Therefore, casinos must have robust anti-money laundering (AML) measures in place to prevent and detect suspicious activities. These measures may include customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, reporting requirements, and staff training to recognize red flags associated with money laundering activities. By implementing these measures and complying with relevant regulations, casinos can help prevent their facilities from being used for illegal purposes.
