The Nevada Legislature has effectively halted efforts to establish a state lottery, as it did not advance a proposed constitutional amendment, AJR5, before its key deadline. This decision leaves Nevada among the five states without a lottery. The amendment aimed to remove the prohibition on state lotteries, but lawmakers chose not to hear the bill despite its prior passage in 2023. The failure of this legislation has reignited discussions about the state's gambling landscape, particularly in light of potential sports betting developments in neighboring Hawaii, which could impact companies like Boyd Gaming.
