After the state Gaming Commission unanimously approved a set of new rules at a meeting on June 22, players can now place pari-mutuel bets on events like e-sports tournaments, the World Series of Poker and the NBA draft.
Bettors previously could place nonpari-mutuel bets on “other events,” defined as events “other than traditional sporting events, horse, or greyhound races.”
Past examples of “other events” approved by the board include the NBA most valuable player award and the Heisman Trophy.
Nevada law defines pari-mutuel as “any system whereby wagers with respect to the outcome of a race or sporting event are placed in a wagering pool conducted by a person licensed or otherwise permitted to do so under state law, and in which the participants are wagering with each other.”
