GAMBLERS AWAIT
!. NEW NEVADA LAW
Elaborate Places Planned as
Governor Approves Bill.
Repeal Sought.

Sy the Associated Press.
CARSON CITY, New, March 10
Nevada today awaited touch of the
Governors pen that would officially
revive wide-open gambling in the State.
A licensed gambling bill, approved
by both houses and sent to legislative
clerks, was to go to Gov. F. B. Balzar,
who said he would sign It,
With State approval placed upon
virtually all forms of gambling by the
Legislature, old-time members of that
pursuit were preparing to open gam
pnng houses In many towns. Prepara-
rations in Reno and Las Vegas were
elaborate.
Big Resort Being Built.
Two days ago, anticipating enact
ment of the licensing law, directors Of
one Reno club room leased an adjoin-
ing ground floor room and placed me-
chanicS at work upon a resort that will
accommodate several hundred players
Other clubs followed suit.
Gambling at card games has been
lawful in Nevada ever since the State
was organized, except from 1910 until
1915, and there are plenty of former
dealers here to operate the mechanical
games, such as faro, roulette, craps
and keno.
When licensed gambling was closed
by statute in 1910 Reno had four large
establishments and half dozen smaller
ones. The bigger places ran night and
day. None had keys. Members of the
sporting fraternity said the community
would support as many games now, and
perhaps more.
Year-Around Season Seen.
As horse-racing, with pari-mutuel
betting, has long been lawful in Nevada
they prepared for an active year-around
season. Passage of the six-week d.
vorce bill was expected to attract more
visitors to this State.
Although the State repealed its dry
law enforcement act, the long bars OF
pre- prohibition days will be missing.
Opponents of the gambling law as
serted they would circulate a referen-
dun petition for repeal to bring it to
a vote of the people in 1882. If the
proponents Of such a referendum should
win in the election, the repeal would
take effect late in December of that
year. 81 months hence. The bill as
passed by the Legislature would take
effect immediately.
