“There is more technology than in the past,” said A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The Senate Finance Committee yesterday approved the agency’s $45.2 million budget, which includes seven new positions dealing with electronic investigations and enforcement.
In the future, Burnett said, he anticipates more casino gaming via cell phones and tablets — something now restricted to sports betting.
New high-tech games also may be joining more traditional slot machines on the casino floor.
A bill has cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee that would permit video games in which the player uses his skill against the house. If the bill passes, it will create a new area for regulators to oversee.
