Nevada Gaming Commissioners ReappointedTwo Attorneys Receive OK From Gov. Brian Sandoval |
|
The Nevada Gaming Commission, the state’s top regulatory body for the powerful and lucrative casino industry, just saw two of its members receive four-year extensions by Gov. Brian Sandoval, the Las Vegas Sun reported Wednesday morning local time.
Attorneys John Moran Jr. and Joe Brown will continue to rule on some of the most important gaming issues facing the Silver State. Both were on the five-member Commission when it made history by adopting the first ever online gambling regulations in the United States.
Since then, regulators have licensed many companies to eventually enter into the online gambling realm in Nevada. Firms will one day offer games to customers in other places, but will maintain their headquarters in Southern Nevada — at least that’s the plan.
Moran joined the group in 2004, while Brown took his post in 2008. For a list of Moran’s accomplishments click here, and for Brown, click here.
Other members of the Commission are Chairman Peter Bernhard and Randolph Townsend, a former state lawmaker, and Tony Alamo, a medical doctor. The group usually convenes publicly once a month in Las Vegas or Carson City to discuss gaming matters. The Commission receives recommendations from the three-member Gaming Control Board, which meets earlier in the month for the first round of public vetting of companies.
