The Nevada Gaming Control Board is full once again. Governor Steve Sisolak made his second appointment to the three-seat board when he named Reno-based Phil Katsaros as a member. Sisolak, who took office in January, had already replaced former Chairwoman Becky Harris with Sandra Douglass Morgan.
Katsaros was an executive with Certus Gaming USA, which focused on the international gaming market. Katsaros has also formerly worked for Inspired Entertainment in promoting its virtual sports betting products, as well as with IGT.
“Phil brings over two decades of gaming experience, making him an outstanding addition to the Gaming Control Board,” Sisolak said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to appoint him and am confident he will use his diverse expertise to strengthen our gaming regulation system and promote Nevada’s gaming industry as the gold standard worldwide.”
Katsaros replaced Shawn Reid, the son of former U.S. Senator Harry Reid, who did not seek reappointment.
