Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro (D-Las Vegas) wants to ease requirements on private gaming salons — gaming areas set aside exclusively for high rollers with gambling budgets of six-or-seven figures or higher. The salons were viewed as an offering to keep big money gamblers coming to Strip resorts and other high-end properties as legal gaming was spreading across the U.S.

Here are some highlights of SB459:

The bill removes a $500 minimum wager requirement on slot machines inside salons, allowing casinos to set their own minimum wager with approval from the Gaming Control Board.

It would no longer require the salons to have table games.
