In an effort to cut costs and streamline the system for registering gaming workers in Nevada, the Gaming Control Board Technology Division took to the internet.

Nevada law requires casino employees to register with the Gaming Control Board before working for a state license holder. Local governments were in charge of the process until 2004, when the state handed the responsibilities over to state gaming regulators.

Regulators process about 30,000 new applications and 18,000 changes per year, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The old system, which required paperwork for everything, was totally manual and time-intensive.

“Online registration should meaningfully improve filing accuracy, reduce processing costs and provide a more efficient process for gaming employers to verify employee registration,” Enforcement Division Chief Jerry Markling told the Review-Journal.

The Gaming Employee Registration website can be accessed at the control board’s website, www.gaming.nv.gov/gaming_emp_reg.htm.
