Nevada Wants Money from Gambling 

The Nevada gambling laws are not free to come up with. In fact, there is a lot of money and time spent trying to figure out how the laws and regulations will fit with the way that their government sees it playing out. The Gaming Control Board says that it is very expensive to police the state and make sure that everyone is following the rules and regulations the same way – and they want someone else to bear the brunt of that expense. Instead of the state continuing to pay to keep things the way that they should be, they think that the casinos themselves should have to pay for it. 

They have introduced new legislation that would make it a requirement for the gaming industry to pay for that regulation and enforcement of Nevada’s laws. They think that if the casino and slot machine manufacturers pony up the $32 million budget that the money they are currently spending on it can go towards something else in the budget. Not only that, but if the slot machine companies are spending their own money to regulate themselves they are more than likely to start doing it with less prodding, thus cutting down on the amount of money that they are spending each year. 

The legislature has an $800 million budget gap and they have to find a way to cut back on expenditures. One of those ways is to simply find ways of funding areas that cannot be cut – and using the slot machine manufacturers to take this over is pure genius.
