Frequently Asked Questions
Why is key person insurance critical for slots route operators?
Nevada gaming licenses are issued to specific individuals. The death of a licensed principal can trigger regulatory review, license transfer requirements, and operational disruption. Key person insurance provides liquidity to maintain operations during what can be a lengthy licensing process.
How do route operators structure buy-sell agreements?
Life insurance-funded buy-sell agreements allow surviving partners to purchase the deceased partner's interest and maintain existing location relationships. These agreements should address Nevada Gaming Control Board approval requirements for ownership transfers.
