Commission aims to accelerate new casino games
By Thomas Moore, Las Vegas Sun
Getting new casino games in front of gamblers faster is the idea behind a change in regulations being considered by the Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday.
The commission will meet in Carson City to vote on amendments to regulations that would create a New Innovation Beta process intended to speed up the development of new games by letting game makers quickly test their products in the real world.
At present, game makers use field trials to see if games can technically stand up to real-world use and to see if gamblers find them easy and fun to play. However, games are required to meet all of Nevada’s regulatory standards before field trials can begin.
