Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval said "This announcement is a major step toward ensuring Nevada becomes the esports capital of the world. By embracing this unique opportunity and incorporating innovation and technology into our gaming industry, we're expanding the potential of one of our oldest industries."

This is the first legal Vegas gambling to take place on an esports event, though other esports have had their share of skins gambling and fantasy drafts. IEM Oakland will take place Nov. 19-20 and features Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and League of Legends, though only the latter will be wagered on in Nevada.
