The Nevada Gaming Commission has an important role in adopting regulations to implement and enforce state laws governing gambling in the Silver State.
Created in 1959 with the adoption of the Gaming Control Act in Nevada, the commission also has the powerful authority for licensing of gaming, with the ability to approve, restrict, limit, condition, deny, revoke, or suspend any gaming license in the state.
