Unlike the approval process for many aspects of Nevada gaming, manufacturers and distributors of associated equipment are not required to be found suitable or licensed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (“Board”) and the Nevada Gaming Commission (“Commission”). Instead, manufacturers and distributors of associated equipment must register with the Chair of the Board (“Chair”) prior to having such associated equipment made available to Nevada’s casinos. However, the lack of mandatory licensure does not infer a lax approval process. Manufacturers and distributors of associated equipment are still subject to a background investigation and the associated equipment is thoroughly reviewed by the Board. Additionally, the Chair has the discretionary authority to refer the application to the Board and to the Commission for consideration.
