excess of the sum of $10,000 which is paid or transferred or agreed to be paid
or transferred to any person in consideration for the arranging or negotiation
of an extension of credit to a licensee, a registered company, or applicant for

intended to be used for any of the following purposes:
1. The acquisition of an interest in a gaming
establishment or registered company.
2. To finance the gaming operations of a
licensed gaming establishment.
(b) The term "finder's fee" shall not

to pay a finder's fee without the prior approval of the Commission, acting upon
a recommendation of the Executive Director. An application for approval of
payment of a finder's fee shall make a full disclosure of all material facts.
The Commission may disapprove any such application if the person to whom the
finder's fee is proposed to be paid does not demonstrate that he is suitable to
hold a state gaming license. (Adopted: 09/25/1991.)
