Local Bars Prepare For Super Bowl Rush

The Nevada Gaming Control Board now says that stand-alone slot machines can now be placed temporarily next to bar tops for customers to use. 

The board says it got inquiries about two sections within Governor Steve Sisolak's emergency COVID-19 directive concerning the stand-alone machines. 

On Friday, it also announced that slot machines in buddy bars may be available for play, but slot machines embedded in bars must remain unavailable for play until a further date.

The board says despite the new approval, those slot machines must still be spaced at least six feet apart and cleaned and disinfected, along with any partitions, after each use by customers. 

Licensees also must get approval first from the Gaming Board before changing the placement of the slot machines.
