Operative words

Slot machines embedded in a bar, as defined in subsection 3 of NRS 463.161, and as noted in a licensee's current diagram on file with the Board, must remain unavailable for play. All licensees are reminded that placement of slot machines must comply with the Health and Safety Policies for Resumption of Gaming Operations. This includes, without limitation, spacing slot machines at least 6 feet apart or complying with an alternate plan approved by the Board.

Enforcement
