There’s a small chance that Raiders games will be taken off Las Vegas betting boards—even if the NFL franchise moves to the state, according to the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC).
Now, Raiders officials or even the league itself can cite the state’s Regulation 22 to ask the gaming commission for a wagering prohibition on the team. However, NGC chairman Tony Alamo believes that scenario is unlikely.
“The fact that the Raiders come from Oakland to Las Vegas doesn’t move my needle in any direction in terms of should we allow that to be on a sports book board or not. Nothing changed for me,” Alamo told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
NFL, which is still working to keep the team in Oakland, has yet to indicate if it would challenge betting on Raiders games if ever the move occurs. Still, Alamo said the commission will consider any request the team or the NFL will make.
