Nevada mulls allowing wagering accounts for casino betting

Bettors in Nevada may soon be able to use their wagering accounts for more forms of casino gambling.

State regulators are reportedly planning to discuss allowing the use of betting accounts—currently used only for sports betting and some online games—to bet on slots, video poker and bingo, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

“Currently, there are separate account-wagering regulations for each type of gaming, such as for mobile gaming, races and sports, interactive and slots,” said A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Gaming Control Board, according to the news outlet. “Each may have slightly different requirements. The aim of the changes we are making to the regulations is to bring them all into alignment so they have the same requirements for each, with only minor variances.”

The board plans to hold the discussions at a special workshop on Thursday.
