Scrutiny of Nevada Cashless Systems Intensifies

Board Chairman Dennis Neilander said at the board's meeting in Carson City on Thursday that two senior auditors have been added to the newly named Information Technology Audit Group to help reduce inspection time and speed up approval for casino use of cashless gaming equipment. He said Sue Skrove has been named audit supervisor of the group.

Two electronic lab engineers have been added to the Electronic Services Division to handle and test the growing number of cashless wagering systems. The cost of the new staff will be financed by an increase in inspection fees charged to manufacturers of new games.

The board's electronic lab charges $430 for review of multi-game software modifications, up from $300, and $360 for single-game hardware or software modifications, up from $225. Associated equipment tests cost $360, up from $225. And reviews of new devices such as cashless machines cost $120 an hour, up from $75 an hour.
