AB 58 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises various provisions relating to gaming. (BDR 41-297)

AB 58 revises Nevada's gaming laws by updating definitions and administrative processes for gaming licensees. It expands the definition of "information service" to include risk management for wagering pools, clarifies that restricted gaming licenses require 2,500 square feet of *indoor* space, and shifts game approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission to the Board Chair. The bill removes outdated terms like "cash access and wagering instrument service provider" and eliminates references to "global risk management," incorporating those activities into broader definitions. These changes apply directly to casinos, race books, sports pools, and other licensed gaming operations in Nevada, streamlining regulatory requirements without creating new programs. The bill passed unanimously and became law as Chapter 325 on June 6, 2025.

MODERATE
This bill updates Nevada gaming laws by shifting game approval authority from the Gaming Commission to the Gaming Control Board Chair, clarifying that restricted gaming licenses require indoor space, and removing outdated terms related to cash access and global risk management. These changes streamline regulatory oversight and clarify physical requirements for small gaming establishments.
Scope change
The bill modifies the regulatory scope by transferring administrative approval power for games to the Control Board Chair and redefining eligibility criteria for restricted licenses to specifically require indoor space.
REQUIREMENT

Game approval authority is now administered by the Chair of the Gaming Control Board instead of the Gaming Commission, simplifying the approval process.

ELIGIBILITY

Restricted gaming licenses in large counties now explicitly require a minimum of 2,500 square feet of indoor space for patrons.

DEFINITION

TECHNICAL

Technical corrections were made to ensure race books and sports pools are correctly referenced in interactive gaming licensure requirements.
