There are currently two clashing opinions in the Nevada
government. William Horne, the majority leader wants to up the amount that
online casino owners have to pay for the license to develop a casino on the internet. The licenses are already quite
expensive at around 500,000 to get one in the beginning. They don’t get much
cheaper after you have had one for a while either, because you will have to pay
an additional 250,000 dollars each time that you renew the license which has to
be done on a yearly basis.
Those expensive fees would be doubled if it was up to Horne,
but the governor and many other politicians don’t think that that is a good
idea. They want to be competitive with other states, and although they have
relatively low taxes compared to other states, Nevada would be much less
attractive if they were to up those fees that high.
There is a good chance that the clause will be voted on to
see if other politicians believe in the idea, but even if it does pass into
law, the governor could veto it which makes the whole process pretty pointless
since he has made his stance on the matter very clear.
