An industry expert on state lotteries believes Nevada policymakers can get through the arduous process of forming a lottery that would enable people to buy tickets at local supermarkets and convenience stores.
Scott Gunn, senior vice president of corporate public affairs for IGT, said Thursday that he’s confident state leaders can get through the lengthy process that likely wouldn’t conclude until at least 2026.
Gunn made his remarks at the first day of sessions of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States, meeting over three days less than a mile from Colorado’s Capitol building.
The convention, which has attracted nearly 300 people, including 100 lawmakers and 100 regulators from states that offer some form of gaming, enables policymakers from around the country to meet and compare notes on providing successful gambling experiences for their citizens.
