Technology Big Focus for Nevada Regulators

A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board has come out and said technology and high-tech slot games will be the main focus for regulators in the near future.

“There is more technology than in the past,” A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board said. While it would take a special breed of person to dispute that statement, it is telling of where the focus is right now for regulators.

A $45.2 million budget was recently approved by the Senate Finance Committee, which will feature seven new positions involving electronic investigations and enforcement. Burnett anticipates a rise in casino gaming on cell phones and tablets, which is currently only allowed for sports betting.

A bill has also cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee which would allow for more skill to be implemented into slow games. The games are expected to play more like video games, and if the bill passes, will create a new area for regulators to oversee.
