\"NevadaThe Nevada Gaming Commission<\/a> (NGC) is set to conduct a special hearing on May 7, where their main agenda will be examining the Nevada Gaming Control Board<\/strong>\u2019s (NGCB) proposed guidelines for re-opening casinos<\/a> once the current shutdowns necessitated by the COVID-19 are lifted by the authorities.<\/p>\n

The hearing will be held virtually, and will be available to the public. The part-time NGC will have the final say over the recommendations issued by the full-time NGCB.<\/p>\n

The NGCB\u2019s regulations were released on May 1 and are comprised of two distinct sets. One set is for resort casinos and other large gaming venues, and another set is for smaller venues with a maximum of 15 slot machines in their premises, such as supermarkets, taverns, bars, and convenience stores. <\/p>\n

Resort casino guidelines set the maximum allowed guests at half of their maximum capacity, to allow for greater social distancing between punters while playing slots<\/a> or table games. Guidelines for smaller venues also state a 50% reduction in maximum occupancy<\/strong>, with social distancing rules determining the number of allowed slot machines in use at one time.<\/p>\n
