Nevada gaming regulators have proposed removing references to the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) from a state casino regulation, according to a Nevada Gaming Control Board document dated Oct. 7.
Regulation 5.170(2), which covers programs to address problem gambling, requires responsible gaming materials that reference the council or a similar entity approved by the board chair, the document says. The board's Tax and License Division recommended updating it to reference Nevada-specific resources.
The division said the change would give patrons clearer information and direct people to Nevada-specific information and referral resources. The determination field in the posted document is blank, to be completed at or after the board's Oct. 7 consideration.
The board's Oct. 7 agenda lists the review of these regulations as Regulations Agenda Item 1. The published documents do not show the board's determination.
The proposal is part of a regulatory review under Executive Order 2026-003, and the document lists 18 entries covering 21 regulation citations. The Nevada Gaming Commission, whose regulations are under review, meets Oct. 22 in Las Vegas, according to its 2026 schedule.
The same document proposes removing the limit of two gaming devices that can be sold privately in a 12-month period under Regulation 14.330(1). The requirement for board approval and the ban on using or playing the devices would stay.
Another proposal, under Regulation 9.010, would let a gaming license be properly disposed of instead of returned to the board when an establishment closes or surrenders its license.
The NCPG announced May 18 that Kalshi would make a $2 million, two-year investment in its Financial Trader Health and Safety Initiative. Kalshi joined at the Platinum level as the first member of a new financial services and trading subcategory.
The NCPG says it is neutral on the legality of specific gambling, wagering or prediction products. Its board of directors announced Sept. 26 that Executive Director Heather Maurer had resigned and would remain in the role through Oct. 16.
The rationale in the board's document cites clearer information for patrons and Nevada-specific resources; it does not mention Kalshi.
