In the US, a Nevada lawmaker wants to lower the legal gambling age from 21 to 18.

Assembly Bill 86, sponsored by Assemblyman Jim Wheeler, would drop the legal gambling threshold down to 18 years of age.

Back in 2008, the idea to lower the legal gambling age to 18 was floated by some state gaming regulators after the question was raised by a lawyer during a gaming law conference in Las Vegas. But the idea was quickly rejected by state lawmakers.

Wheeler’s bill and with more than 200 others were introduced in their respective houses on Monday’s first day of the legislative session.
