With 2023 just weeks away, Nevada’s gaming attorneys are gearing up for another year of change within an ever-evolving industry.

Scott Scherer, a gaming attorney with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck and a former member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said the continued spread of legalized sports betting outside of Nevada will continue to reshape the overall industry.

That’s just one area he and other local gaming attorneys will keep an eye on in 2023. Though the number will likely change again soon, 35 states, along with the District of Columbia, have passed laws to allow for sports betting.

“Legal sports betting has spread rapidly throughout the United States,” Scherer said.
