AGEM Key Board of Directors Actions l AGEM’s Compliance Committee met with Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairwoman Becky Harris on Oct. 23 to discuss the “assume responsibility” portion of Regulation 14. During the positive working session, AGEM made the case its members, specifically the slot machine companies, have always assumed responsibility for all aspects of their equipment and that extra wording within the regulation was not necessary. Chair Harris said she would consult with her staff on next steps and reply to AGEM in due course.
l AGEM has recently commenced an initiative in Nevada for a proposed workforce development bill to be introduced in the upcoming Legislative session that would allow suppliers to provide employment or paid internships to those under 21 years of age. Nevada has invested heavily in technical high schools and there should be a pipeline for these students that may not wish to go on to college.
