Licensing, Permitting and Approvals:
As a highly regulated industry, many aspects of the gaming business, including gaming site approval, licensure, company financing and findings of suitability of key employees, are subject to review or approval by gaming regulators. Our gaming lawyers represent and counsel gaming entities in obtaining requisite regulatory licensing and approvals, reporting of matters to gaming regulators, and assisting with obtaining necessary permits from other governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the development and operation of casinos.
