The Las Vegas Sands Corporation is going to be the first Las Vegas hotel company to use mobile gambling in their casinos. The Venetian will be the first casino to ustilize these devices. They will allow persons to play blackjack, roulette, poker and slots for real money on a mobile platform. The gambling devices will be provided by the hotel, but there is a bit of a catch. The Nevada Gaming Commission regulations state that mobile gambling can only take place in public areas of the casino—not in hotel rooms or other private areas. A field trial will begin in the coming months with a full roll-out later this year or early 2007.
