Kernrechtsfrage
Whether D. was a 'significant business partner' requiring notification to the gaming commission
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The contractual collaboration, especially direct chip sales, exclusivity, remuneration and operational risks, made D. a significant business partner.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the assessment can be made abstractly from the contract clauses and their relation to casino operations. Qualitative factors alone sufficed, including core gaming activity involvement and heightened money-laundering and gambling-law risks.
