UNLV and Entain launch new executive online training program in gaming law and regulation

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has announced a new executive online training program in gaming law and regulation that its William S. Boyd School of Law is launching on January 10, 2022, in partnership with global gambling operator Entain.

This new online program is designed for operators, suppliers, regulators and non-lawyers working in the gaming industry, and participants are not required to hold a law degree required to practice law in international markets in order to enroll.

These programs will be mostly asynchronous, and will launch during the first and second quarters of 2021. They are created and taught by instructors with decades of professional gaming and teaching experience. The program will eventually consist of eight classes designed to prepare professionals to meet the sophisticated regulatory and operating challenges facing the gaming industry, according to UNLV. 

The new courses include:

• Introduction to Gaming Law and Regulation, with Anthony Cabot
• Resort Hotel Casino Law, with William Buffalo
• Introduction to Indian Gaming Law, with Kathryn Rand and Steven Light
• Player Accountability & Corporate Social Responsibility in Gaming Law, with Alan Feldman and Dayvid Figler

Additional courses in development include "Public Policy and Comparative Study of Gaming Laws and Regulations", and "The Legal and Operational Environment for Sports Betting."

Designed to be completed over three months, participants will be able to complete 20-25 hours of training with each course through the online portal. Faculty may choose to organize virtual meetings as part of the online program. Online registration is available here.
