This places too little faith in the state of Nevada. Most people who
make sports bets are aware that the tickets expire, anyone who isn't
aware of their expiration (which is standard, as I've made hundreds of
sports bets and have never had one that didn't have an expiration
date) and makes a bet can read about in on the back of the ticket, and
the Gaming Commission has decided that these expiration dates are
reasonable, as they wouldn't in your "leap year" example."
