Mike Dreitzer
Current chair · Nevada Gaming Control Board
From Nevada gaming counsel and equipment-industry leadership to the chair of the state’s investigative and enforcement board.
A career across law and gaming
Dreitzer represented the Board and Commission as a Nevada deputy attorney general. His later positions included compliance work at Progressive Gaming, leadership at BMM Americas and Ainsworth’s North American division, and chief executive of Gaming Arts. He studied at Cornell and earned his law degree at Emory. [1]
The 2025 succession
Governor Joe Lombardo announced Dreitzer’s selection on April 21, 2025 to succeed Kirk Hendrick, anticipating a June 23 start. The Board’s official biography confirms appointment in June. Its current membership page, checked October 14, 2026, lists Dreitzer as chair with George Assad and Chandeni K. Sendall. [1] [2]
What this chairmanship means
Dreitzer chairs the Gaming Control Board, not the Gaming Commission. The Board investigates, audits and enforces; the separate Commission makes final licensing decisions and adopts regulations. His official biography identifies modernization, transparency and efficient oversight as priorities. Those are stated aims, not an independent assessment of results. [2]
