The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB or SGCB), previously known as the State Gaming Control Board, is a Nevada state governmental agency that licenses and regulates gaming and enforcement of Nevada gaming laws throughout the state, along with the Nevada Gaming Commission. The Nevada Gaming Control Board's Enforcement Division is the law enforcement arm of the Nevada Gaming Commission. It was founded in 1955 by the Nevada Legislature.
Board of directors
The NGCB board is composed of three members appointed by the governor. Board members serve four-year terms in a full-time capacity.
In May 2026, board member George Assad, who has called for reinstating parts of Regulation 6A (removed in 2007), proposed forming an NGCB whistleblower program, to help curtail extensive money laundering in casinos.
