Oct. 30--Some 20 months after Nevada casino regulators approved rules governing wagering on wireless hand-held gambling devices, mobile gaming remains an uncharted mystery.
But some of the questions may start finding answers in November.
Cantor G&W, an affiliate of New York-based financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, hopes to begin testing a wireless gambling device on a small scale at The Venetian. The company is asking the Gaming Control Board to allow customers frequenting the semiprivate lounge inside The Venetian's high-end slot parlor to wager on a device no larger than a personal digital assistant.
At the very least, Cantor G&W executives plan to allow attendees to the upcoming Global Gaming Expo who visit The Venetian play the mobile gaming devices for free to show their capabilities. The G2E in mid-November is the casino industry's largest trade show.
