In 2017, the casino faced a possible loss of license after admitting it failed to follow federal anti-money laundering laws. Keith Sharp, the Gardens Casino’s general counsel, stated managers have taken responsibility for the failure and "have made tremendous steps in improving our programs".

On December 5, 2019 California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced a $3.1 million settlement with Hawaiian Gardens Casino for “misleading gambling regulators and violating the Bank Secrecy Act.” The settlement was in addition to the $2.8 million penalty imposed on the casino by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. The casino was also required to complete a 24-month compliance period to meet the terms of the settlement.

The television webcast show, Poker Night in America, has hosted shows at the casino with an upcoming live show set to be broadcast in March 2018.
