Frequently Asked Questions
Why is key person insurance critical for gaming businesses?
Gaming licenses are often tied to specific individuals. If a key license holder passes away, the business may face operational disruptions, regulatory issues, and significant costs to obtain new licensing—making key person coverage essential.
How much key person coverage do casinos typically need?
Coverage typically ranges from 5-10x the key person's compensation, plus estimated costs for license transfer, regulatory compliance, and business interruption—often $2-20 million for mid-size operations.
Can life insurance help with Nevada gaming license transfers?
Yes. Buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance ensure smooth ownership transitions that satisfy Gaming Control Board requirements, providing liquidity without forcing asset sales.
