GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Cheryl Moss, Nevada Gambling Court Judge

Cheryl Moss is a family court judge in Las Vegas. She was elected in the year 2000. In 2001, with the help of the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling, she was the first judge in Nevada to institute problem gambling assessments in child custody in divorce cases. Last year, Moss finally got permission to establish a gambling court, so that those charged with crimes linked to their gambling addictions could get help from the court to control their addictions. The court determines whether the criminal is eligible for diversion and then develops a program of treatment and recovery. She spoke to GGB Publisher Roger Gros in her courtroom in Las Vegas in November right before the launch of the program.
