Galaxy Gaming withdraws bid for Nevada gaming license

Deciding to evade a potential major regulatory hurdle, Galaxy Gaming Inc. has opted to take back its application for a license to develop and distribute new games in Nevada.

On Thursday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the Nevada Gaming Control Board agreed to refer Galaxy Gaming’s licensing request back to the company.

Galaxy Gaming, which develops, manufactures and distributes casino table games and enhanced casino systems, is due to appear before the Nevada Gaming Commission on July 27, when the panel is set to decide whether to issue a license that “would enable Galaxy to develop and distribute new games in Nevada,” according to the report.

The commission has the option whether to concur with the board, overturn its decision or make it “the first case ever to be subject to a new law that enables the commission to reject but not deny licensing,” which, according to the news outlet, means that Galaxy Gaming may continue to operate in the state but will be unable to roll out new games.
