As co-chair of the Congressional Gaming Caucus, U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., aims to educate legislators across the country on the economic benefits of gaming, as well as advocate for policies to prevent illegal or irresponsible gambling.

The Las Vegas Sun sat down with Titus to ask about the caucus, its goals and the congresswoman’s recent announcement that she will continue trying to raise the tax-reporting threshold for slot machine winnings — which has failed to increase with inflation over 50 years and remains at an archaically low $1,200.
