Tony Alamo, Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said he would have \u201ctotal comfort\u201d on allowing betting on any teams, irrespective of where they were based. (Martin S Fuentes\/LVRJ)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bettors will still be able to have their money on the Raiders at Nevada\u2019s sports books if the team makes a proposed move to Las Vegas, even if the NFL requests otherwise.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to Chairman of the Gaming Control Commission, Tony Alamo, who gave his unofficial verdict on the matter to the Las Vegas Review-Journal this week.<\/p>\n

The Raiders\u2019 lease is up in Oakland, and while owner Mark Davis has been able to secure a temporary extension, his team is in need of a permanent home. And a $1.4 billion, 65,000-seat domed stadium on a 42-acre plot north of McCarran International airport, proposed by LVS and partners, could be the answer. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Davis is enthusiastic about the move but it\u2019s up to the\u00a0NFL voters to decide, and that will require the backing of two thirds, or 24, of the NFL\u2019s 32 owners. The Raiders<\/a> are expected to apply for relocation in January.<\/p>\n

Gaming Integrity \u201cAbove Reproach\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak for the commission, but growing up in the gaming industry and trusting the integrity of the gaming industry, I have total comfort in allowing sports betting on any teams whether they are here in Nevada\u2026 in Las Vegas, Reno or otherwise\u2026 or in other locations,\u201d Alamo said.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe fact that the Raiders come from Oakland to Las Vegas doesn\u2019t move my needle in any direction in terms of should we allow that to be on a sports book board or not. Nothing changed for me \u2026 The integrity of gaming is so above reproach that it doesn\u2019t matter if the team is 100 yards away or 400 miles away. What changed? Nothing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The NFL has long been against sports betting, seeing it as a threat to the integrity of the sport. There are signs, though, that attitudes may be thawing, with respect to the proposed Raiders move in particular.<\/p>\n

Reservations Linger<\/b><\/h2>\n

Several NFL owners have expressed their support for Vegas as the team\u2019s new home, including Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just living in a different world, technology-wise,\u201d he said recently. \u201cThe [sports betting] risks in Vegas are no longer exclusive to Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n

But NFL Chairman Roger Goodell<\/a> still has reservations. At a recent NFL owners meeting in Houston, he told the press that the organization was \u201cstill very much opposed\u201d to legalized gambling on sports and that it \u201cstill has an impact on the integrity of our game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL\u2019s Regulation 22 allows it to request the prohibition of bets on games held in Nevada, provided the governing body writes to the Control Board within 30 days before the game. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
