\"\"Gaming regulators in Nevada are scheduled to meet this week to discuss the ramifications of the use of marijuana becoming legal<\/A> in the state. Nevada recently legalized the recreational use of marijuana but the possession and use of marijuana is still a crime under federal law.<\/p>\n

The change in the state law has thrown up a number of questions around how casino operators will handle issues arising from marijuana use on their facilities. State Gaming Control Board<\/strong> has asked the Nevada Gaming Commission<\/a> to address the matter.<\/p>\n

Chairman Tony Alamo<\/strong> has confirmed that the Commission would be meeting later this week to work through a list of identified issues. The meetings will take the form of discussions and not hearings, with public comments scheduled to be taken separately. Post discussions, commission members will decide if additional regulation is required to be formulated.<\/p>\n
