The Nevada Gaming Commission and the Nevada Gaming Control Board are empowered by law to regulate Nevada’s gaming industry. Established in 1931 and bolstered by the creation of our agency in 1955, our evolving laws and regulations have been an integral element of the success of gaming in Nevada. The gaming industry is declared to be vitally important to the economy of our State and the general welfare of our inhabitants. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, our 272 non-restricted licensees who grossed more than $1 million in gaming revenue, generated total revenues of $26.2 billion, with $11.1 billion, or 42.4%, coming from gaming activities. These 273 non-restricted licensees reported an employee base of 166,485 people. As is evident by these data points, the contribution of gaming and tourism to Nevada is substantial. Over the past 25 years, casino gaming has become legal in many jurisdictions throughout the United States, and, more recently, around the globe.
