Nevada lawmakers OK skill-based casino video games

CARSON CITY — The Nevada Assembly today gave final legislative passage to a bill aimed at improving the sluggish slot machine industry.

The bill, approved by a 41-0 vote, allows state gaming regulators to set up rules to permit skill-based video games in casinos.

The bill had the backing of gaming equipment manufacturers and the casino industry.

Slot machine winnings in the last year have increased by less than 1 percent, according to the state Gaming Control Board.

The measure now goes to Gov. Brian Sandoval for his signature.
