Gaming Commission defers action on rules for charitable games

The Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday deferred action on amendments to Regulation 4A, which governs games of chance that raise money for charitable causes.

New regulations were required as a result of the passage and signing into law of Assembly Bill 117 last spring.

Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairwoman Sandra Morgan said the legislation and the need for amended regulations came about in the wake of the arrival of major-league sports in Southern Nevada.
...
Some changes had unintended negative consequences to some of the smaller charities, and in Thursday’s meeting, commissioners worked through some of the amendments to make them palatable to the various groups.

The commission received letters of concern from several outdoors organizations — the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, the Nevada Waterfowl Association and Nevada Bighorns Unlimited — that feared the proposed rules would place limitations on the participation of youths in fundraising projects.

Ah, the vagaries of changing one law that has all kinds of impacts on other things.

Another hearing coming that may help define/clarify the rest of the stuff.


The board did clarify that the $500k limit does not refer to the charity's max they can raise for the year, but the max a single person can win.
