burgr Although the iGaming segment still doesn’t produce the revenue that land-based properties bring in, it is gaining ground every year and the COVID-19 pandemic showed how valuable online casinos can be. The NGC has approved changes to language in Regulation 5A, its guidance for online gambling, that would, among other things, require the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) to create and maintain a list where gamblers can opt-out of online gambling activity if they feel they’re starting to develop a habit. The list will encompass the entire state and will have to be updated on a daily basis..The list only applies to online gambling, which has to be a sign that changes to Nevada’s gambling scene are coming. The NGCB and the NGC have been discussing the possibility of expanding Nevada’s online gaming activity, as well as dropping the in-person registration requirement for poker and sports gambling, but no definitive indication that iGaming is coming has been announced. If the gaming regulators decide to move forward with the development of an iGaming market, Nevada would join Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia as the only states to currently offer legal online slot machines, table games and more.
