With a growing threat of computer hacking and new types of video games on the horizon, the state Gaming Control Board is shifting its focus to keep up with the changing casino environment.
“There is more technology than in the past,” said A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The Senate Finance Committee approved the agency’s $45.2 million budget, which includes seven new positions dealing with electronic investigations and enforcement.
In the future, Burnett said, he anticipates more casino gaming via cell phones and tablets — something now restricted to sports betting.
New high-tech games also may be joining more traditional slot machines on the casino floor.
A bill has cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee that would permit video games in which the player uses his skill against the house. If the bill passes, it will create a new area for regulators to oversee.
