Nevada Gaming Control Board to Consider Revisions to Ten Technical Standards Next Month
NGCB will review revisions to 10 technical standards on 7 October to consolidate rules previously split across documents. Drafts date from June-August; comments due by 5 October. This advances modernization under Chair Mike Dreitzer, with possible adoption by year-end.
SCCG Take — Operators should examine the drafts ahead of the 5 October deadline, as unified standards could ease compliance if adopted by year-end.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board will consider proposed revisions to ten technical standards for gaming devices and associated equipment at its meeting on 7 October. A total of ten standards are up for review, with draft proposals dated from June to August. The board notified licensees on 4 September, and interested parties may submit comments through 5 October.
The revisions vary in scope. Changes to Standard 9 on digital parimutuel systems consist mostly of small additions. Standard 3 on slot metering systems includes entire sections added and subtracted. Explanatory notes appear throughout the proposals, according to reporting by iGaming Business.
Consolidating Technical Rules Into One Source
The bulk of the revisions compile technical information into a single definitive source. Some requirements previously resided in the state’s Minimum Internal Control Standards, which blend technical and procedural rules. Most explanatory notes reference adaptations from those standards and other sources.
Jeremy Eberwein, chief of the board’s Technology Division, said the process has been years in the making. “We had various iterations of the drafts internally probably going back at least a decade, and just never made it to the finish line for various reasons,” he explained. The board hopes the drafts are close to final, though stakeholder input during the comment period and hearing may prompt changes. Adoption and publication could occur by year’s end depending on feedback from the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Modernization Drive and Regulatory Timeline
The revisions extend modernization efforts that have been a priority since Mike Dreitzer became NGCB Chair last June. Dreitzer, whose partial term runs through January 2027, has focused on addressing licensee concerns about regulatory timelines, consistency, and clarity compared with other jurisdictions. The board has also revised rules for gaming salons and AML reporting during a period that included five multimillion-dollar AML fines issued to Las Vegas Strip entities since the start of 2025.
