Mobile Gambling Rules Review

Filed in archive Casinos on January 27, 2006

Regulators are currently reviewing the rules for mobile gambling in Nevada - after passing legislation allowing mobile devices early last year.

Under the new law, the games can be used only in public areas of casinos that have 100 or more slot machines and offer at least one other game.

The law bars the devices from hotel rooms, parking lots and garages, and other private areas.

The Nevada Gambling Commission are considering allowing players to use mobile gambling devices anywhere gambling is allowed - whilst special permission would be required for off-sites such as conference halls

The rules are likely to come up for a vote in March.

It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out - and whether gaming devices in a casino environment rather than a non-casino environment (which makes more sense) will catch on - then again, knowing the apetite for gambling in Vegas, it'll work just fine
