About the Nevada Gaming Control Board
The 1955 legislature created the Nevada Gaming Control Board within the Nevada Tax Commission.
The purpose was to inaugurate a policy to eliminate undesirable elements in Nevada games and to provide regulations for the licensing and operation of games.
The Council should also establish rules and regulations for all tax reports to be filed by gaming licensees with the state.
The group consists of three full-time members appointed by the governor to four-year terms, with one member serving as chairman, and is responsible for regulating all aspects of Nevada’s gaming industry.
The aim is to protect the stability of the gaming industry through investigations, licensing and enforcement of laws and regulations; ensure the collection of taxes and gambling fees, an essential source of state revenue; and to maintain public confidence in the games.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board implements policies for enforcing state laws and regulations governing gaming through six divisions (Administration, Audit, Enforcement, Investigations, Tax and Licensing, and Technology).
