Nevada's gaming regulatory structure is considered by many, to be the best in the world. It consists of a three-member Nevada State Gaming Control Board and a five-member Nevada Gaming Commission, members of which are all appointed by Nevada's governor. The Gaming Control Board is responsible for the daily regulation and administration of the Nevada Gaming Control Act. Seven divisions operate under the auspices of the Gaming Control Board. They are:
Administrative Division
Investigations Division
Special Investigations and Intelligence Division
Enforcement Division
Electronic Services Division
Audit Division
Tax License & Economic Research Division
The Nevada Gaming Commission has the responsibility and authority to deny, limit, condition or restrict all gaming license applications, findings of suitability or other required approvals. The Commission acts on State Gaming Control Board recommendations, adopts regulations pursuant to the Nevada Gaming Control Act and adjudicates gaming tax disputes and disciplinary actions.
