Lipparelli said the planned timetable for the regulations would be for additional public hearings at the control board's and Nevada Gaming Commission's November meetings, followed by adoption votes in December.
The state Legislature, through the passage of Assembly Bill 258, mandated that Internet poker regulations be established by Jan. 31.
"This timetable gives us some flexibility if something changes before January," Lipparelli said, such as Congress taking up legislation covering Internet poker.
