A former Nevada deputy attorney general who also served as CEO to a gaming equipment manufacturer is the new chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Mike Dreitzer took the board’s top position June 23 and said he knows he has big shoes to fill with the departure of Kirk Hendrick.
Hendrick made good on an agreement he had with Gov. Joe Lombardo to serve as Control Board chairman for two years. It turned out that he was in office 2½ years, leaving the office at the completion of the 2025 Nevada legislative session.
Now, the board is under the direction of Dreitzer, who recently wrapped up his executive responsibilities at Las Vegas-based Gaming Arts.
