The board recommends that the threshold amount at which operators are exempt from recording a progressive log on a recurring basis be increased from $1,200 to $5,000, with operators allowed to perform the task at least every seven days.<\/p>\n<p>Other areas of regulation that the board is looking to improve include hosting-center registration, internal controls for Group 1 licensees, taxes, accounting for transactions, schedules, and rates and billing user reports. <\/p>\n<p>As to regulations that must be removed, Hendrick said the <strong>existing $250,000 cap on keno games must be reviewed<\/strong>. Amendments could be introduced to bring this particular rule into line with those implemented on other progressive machines, he stated.<\/p>\n<p>For board member <strong>George Assad<\/strong>, updating the technology regulations must be prioritized, and from there, the board can proceed with removing other outdated regulations such as those in the enforcement and audit divisions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nevada-gaming-control-board-to-focus-on-technology\">Nevada Gaming Control Board to Focus on Technology <\/h2>\n<p>Other recommendations for removal of regulations relate to the registration and distribution of gaming devices, operation of a system-based gaming device, wagering accounts, employee reports, mandatory disclosure of credit applications, and licensing and operation of a gaming salon.<\/p>\n<p>Hendrick also noted during the workshop that Gov. Lombardo specifically wants the board to pay more attention to technology and how it can accelerate the licensing process. <\/p>\n<p>Gov. Lombardo signed the executive order back in January to minimize regulatory burdens. In his order, Gov. Lombardo stated that Nevada\u2019s regulatory structure contains rules that are either obsolete or unnecessarily onerous, limiting the state\u2019s economic potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary: The NGCB has discussed recommendations for regulatory changes Reforms would reduce regulatory burdens for gaming operators Gov.
