The meeting is set to start at 2 p.m.
A livestream is available below.
According to a commission spokeswoman, members of the commission's Investigations and Enforcement Bureau will provide an update on their ongoing regulatory review.
The Wall Street Journal, citing dozens of people who they interviewed, said they alleged a "decades-long pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Wynn." In a statement to the newspaper, Wynn said allegations that he assaulted someone were "preposterous."
But if the allegations are true, he fails the suitability standards laid out as a condition of a Massachusetts casino license, according to Gov. Charlie Baker.
Baker said earlier this week that decisions and actions, such as revoking the casino license, are up to the independent Gaming Commission, but the governor added he hopes the agency moves quickly.
