The historic Nevada mining town of Virginia City will continue to be without gaming in the immediate future after the Nevada Gaming Control Board on Wednesday voted unanimously to refer a licensing request back to its staff for further review.
Brentwood, California, resident Vincent Malfitano failed to convince regulators to remove him from the so-called “gray list” of denied gaming license applicants, sidelining his efforts to bring more than 100 slot machines back to the Delta Saloon and the Bonanza Saloon on Virginia City’s main drag.
Malfitano, a former dentist in Antioch, California, and owner of an assisted living center, also is the sole shareholder of Virginia City Gaming LLC and was hoping to return 138 slot machines to the two saloons, but first had to make a request to be removed from the state’s denied applicant list.
