Nevada Interactive Gaming Task Force
(IGTF)
The passage and signing of AB466 in June of 2001
charged the Nevada Gaming Commission with
the task of exploring the legal and technical
issues, as well as determining whether
Internet Gaming meets the general
public policy of the state.
In September of 2001, a group of interested
individuals met to discuss the issues associated
with this task, and realized that there
was need to uncover and analyze all
facets of Internet Gaming issues.
With that realization, the Nevada Interactive Gaming Task Force (IGTF) was formed.
