Existing law defines certain terms for the purposes of provisions relating to gaming. (NRS 463.013-463.01967) Section 4 of this bill adds a person who sells and provides management, or consultation or instruction in the management, of risks associated with wagering pools for a race or sporting event or any other event for which a wager may be accepted to the definition of the term “information service.” Existing law defines a “restricted license” as a state gaming license to operate not more than 15 slot machines at an establishment in which the operation of slot machines is incidental to the primary business of the establishment. Existing law also provides that, in a county whose population is 100,000 or more (currently Clark and Washoe Counties), a restricted license may only be granted at certain establishments if the establishment contains: (1) a minimum of 2,500 square feet of space available for patrons; (2) a permanent, physical bar; and (3) a restaurant which meets certain requirements. (NRS 463.0189, 463.161) Section 5.5 of this bill clarifies that the minimum of 2,500 square feet of space available for patrons must be indoor space. Existing law: (1) prohibits, in general, a gaming licensee from offering a game or gambling game for play if the game or gambling game has not received a recommendation from the Nevada Gaming Control Board or an approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission; and (2) requires the Commission to adopt regulations governing the approval of games
