    Card Game Rules: Commission staff regularly evaluates our regulatory processes to ensure they add value and that we do not place unnecessary burdens on licensees by eliminating duplication already required in the WAC, ensuring consistency between licensees, and allowing for maximum flexibility by each business. This is in line with one of our agency goals of "anticipating and responding to the evolving gambling industry."
