The idea has been considered briefly in the past, but state officials across the political spectrum haven’t shown any desire to expand gambling in this way. Even if the gambling age was lowered, casinos still couldn’t serve alcohol to anyone under 21.
Nevada casinos won $11.26 billion from gamblers last year, an increase of just 1.3 percent compared to 2015 and still well below the record of $12.85 billion in 2007.
