Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.

Harsher penalties for illegal wagering

The law makes a first offense for certain illegal wagering a category C felony. A later offense is a category B felony with 1 to 6 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Attempts or conspiracies are category C felonies with the same penalty as the finished crime. Courts must order you to give up any profits, gains, gross receipts, or other benefits from these crimes. If you knowingly accept a wager from someone physically in Nevada, you commit a gross misdemeanor and must disgorge the proceeds. All disgorged money is paid to the State Treasurer for the State General Fund.

Felonies for gaming tax evasion

Willfully failing to report or pay a gaming license fee or tax is a category C felony. The court must order restitution. If you are convicted of willfully violating NRS 463.160(1), the court also orders you to give up any profits, gains, gross receipts, or other benefits from the offense. Those sums are paid to the State Treasurer for the State General Fund.

Stricter license and rule enforcement

A conviction for violating, attempting, or conspiring to violate core gaming laws leads to immediate loss of all your gaming licenses. The court may bar new or extra licenses to you or the premises for one year. Willfully breaking a Gaming Commission regulation is a category C felony. Any chapter 463 violation without a set penalty is a gross misdemeanor.

Set penalties for unapproved games

If you add or display extra games or slot machines without required approval, penalties are limited to those in NRS 463.270 and 463.310 and any local ordinances. This narrows enforcement tools to the listed state and local penalties, but violations can still bring fines or sanctions.
