advance from each applicant a license fee to be determined on the following basis: (a) Those establishments operating or to operate one game, the sum of $100. (b) Those establishments operating or to operate two games, the sum of $200. (c) Those establishments operating or to operate three games, the sum of $400. (d) Those establishments operating or to operate four games, the sum of $750. (e) Those establishments operating or to operate five games, the sum of $1,750. (f) Those establishments operating or to operate six or seven games, the sum of $3,000. (g) Those establishments operating or to operate 8, 9 or 10 games, the sum of $6,000. (h) Those establishments operating or to operate 11, 12 or 13 games, the sum of $650
for each game so operating or to operate. (i) Those establishments operating or to operate 14, 15 or 16 games, the sum of $1,000
for each game so operating or to operate. (j) Those establishments operating or to operate more than 16 games, the sum of $1,000
for each game to and including 16 games and the sum of $200 for each game in excess
of 16 games so operating or to operate. 2. In computing the number of games operated or to be operated by an applicant under
this section, a license authorizing the receiving of bets or wagers on races held
at a track which uses the pari-mutuel system of wagering located outside of the State
of Nevada, or on sporting events by any system or method of wagering other than the
system known as the pari-mutuel method of wagering, shall be deemed a game within
the meaning of this section. 3. All licenses must be issued for the calendar year beginning January 1 and expiring
December 31. If the operation of the licensee is continuing, the Commission shall charge and collect
the fee prescribed in subsection 1 on or before December 31 for the ensuing calendar
year. If the operation is new or has been temporarily closed with the approval of the Board,
the Commission shall prorate the license fee on a monthly basis. If any licensee desires to enlarge the licensee’s operations during the calendar year,
the licensee must, after the licensee’s application is approved, be charged the full
annual fees for the number of games for which the licensee desires a license under
this section, and is entitled to credit thereon for the annual fee the licensee may
have previously paid under this section for the same calendar year for a lesser number
of games. 4. Card games, that is, stud or draw poker, bridge, whist, solo, low ball, and panguingui
for money, and slot machines, when not utilized as an adjunct to or a unit of any
banking, percentage or mechanical device or machine, are not gambling games under
the provisions of this section. 5. All games operated or conducted in one room or a group of rooms in the same or
a contiguous building are considered one operation under this section, and the license
to be paid must be determined on the aggregate number of games in each room or group
of rooms in the same or a contiguous building. 6. Except as otherwise provided in this section and NRS 463.386 , the amount of the fee specified in subsection 1 must not be prorated.
