Name the last time you found a change booth for slot machines on a Nevada casino floor.
As major casino operators began adopting ticket-in-ticket-out payment systems in the early 2000s, cashing in buckets of loose coins became extinct.
On Thursday, the Nevada Gaming Commission could wipe away the requirement that casinos provide video surveillance of the nonexistent change booths.
It’s one of 16 regulations designated for elimination as state gaming regulators seek to comply with a January directive issued by Gov. Joe Lombardo tasking all state agencies with reviewing regulations and recommending at least 10 for removal by May 1.
In a two-hour workshop last week, the Gaming Control Board ranked the proposed changes following input from the agency’s division chiefs and comments from Daron Dorsey, executive director of the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers.
The regulatory subsections involving video surveillance of change booths, along with another eight regulation subsections identified for language changes, were submitted to the part-time gaming commission, which will make the final determination as part of the panel’s monthly meeting in Las Vegas.
The recommendations will then be forwarded to the governor.
