TO: ALL NONRESTRICTED LICENSEES AND INTERESTED PERSONS

SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO REGULATIONS 3, 5 AND 22

On October 29, 1997 the Gaming Control Board issued proposed amendments to Regulations 3, 5 and 22.  Written comments were solicited from licensees at that time and industry meetings were subsequently held on November 19 and December 11, 1997.  The Board considered all comments received, and has produced a revised version of the proposed changes dated March 11, 1998.  A summary of the significant revisions from the original draft are as follows:

1. All book employees that establish point spreads, betting odds or betting lines, or authorize voids or over limit wagers must still be listed on the key employee report.  However, these employees will not be required to file a key employee application.  Instead, book employees who meet specific criteria must register with the Board (see Regulation 22.035).

2. The revisions now only limit the prohibition against discounting wagers and issuing refunds/rebates to the race and sports book (both pari-mutuel and nonpari-mutuel wagers) rather than the entire casino (Regulation 22.125). This section also allows the book to offer wagering propositions and to move or change odds and lines, unless such changes are to circumvent the prohibition against paying refunds/rebates.  However, it is still necessary to post all propositions (Regulation 5.012(3)].

3. Race and sports employees are prohibited from wagering at the race and sports book at which they are employed (Regulation 5.013). Other casino employees except key employees may place wagers in the book. On a related note, the proposed prohibition against granting gaming credit to gaming employees has been limited to key employees [Regulation 5.013(4)].

4. Defined "Internet" [Regulation 22.010(5)] and prohibited a casino's use of the internet as a means of receiving wagers (Regulation 22.010(4)].

5. Defined "messenger bettor" (Regulation 22.010(7)].

6. Revised the book reserve requirements to now include all patron accounts, all unpaid winners and all future wagers [Regulation 22.040(l)). Added a requirement . that the reserve agreement must include a clause which states that the reserve will be available within 7 days of the Chairman's demand.  Added a requirement that the Chairman must be notified in writing within 24 hours should a reserve become-deficient (Regulation 22.040(8)]. The Chairman must also be advised of what steps are being taken to bring the reserve into compliance.  If the steps are not satisfactory, the Chairman may order the cessation of wagering.

7. The Board received many comments with regard to the "messenger betting" provisions contained in the October 15, 1997 draft of Regulation 22.  That draft would have required licensees to report to the Board all race/sports wagers in excess of $3,000.

As was suggested by numerous licensees during the two previous industry meetings and in subsequent written comments in the revised draft the Board is proposing that licensees now report to the Board any patrons that conform to the profile of a suspected messenger bettor.  However, if the Chairman has reason to believe that a licensee is not reporting suspected messenger bettors, the Chairman may direct the licensee to report to the Board all race/sports wagers in excess of $3,000.  A licensee directed to report all wagering activity in excess of $3,000 may, within 15 days, appeal the Chairman's decision to the full Board and Commission.  Finally, a "structuring" provision has been added which applies to those books required to report all wagers in excess of $3,000.

The proposed definition of "messenger bettor profile" is set forth in Regulation 22.010(8) and the related reporting requirements are contained in Regulation 22.065.

B. Payment of winning wagers may be made at an affiliated licensee provided that a proper accounting of the payment is made [Regulation 22.080(2)].

9. A person may possess a communications device (a new term referring to pagers, cellular phones, etc.) in a book provided they do not use the device within the book's premises.  A person using a communications device on the book's premises must immediately discontinue use of the device or be escorted off the book's premises (Regulation 22.135).

10. Annually, books must receive written permission to utilize their "approved' system for accepting wagering communications [Regulation 22.140(2)].

The foregoing is a summary of the major changes to the October ISP 1997 draft.  You are encouraged to compare both drafts of-the proposed changes.

The Board again believes the process of amending these regulations would benefit by holding a final meeting with industry representatives.  Therefore, an industry meeting will be held at the Board offices in Las Vegas on April 14, 1998 at 10:00 A.M. to discuss the proposed amendments.  Subsequently f final written comments may be submitted to the Board no later than April 27, 1998 to:
