The Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday unanimously approved two lists of gaming regulations that may be modified or eliminated in future months, at what was Steven Cohen’s final meeting as a commissioner.

Cohen, who was appointed to the commission in 2019 by former Gov. Steve Sisolak, announced at the end of Thursday’s meeting that he is declining reappointment to a new four-year term after his term expires at the end of April.

It will now be up to Gov. Joe Lombardo to appoint a new member to the five-person board that makes final decisions on licensing recommendations from the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
