Atlantic City, NJ – Internet casino gaming far outperforms sports betting in states where both forms of gambling are offered, but only six states have launched igaming. An expert panel will focus why states have been slow to adopt igaming at the 21st annual East Coast Gaming Congress, April 19-20 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
“Igaming: Is 2023 the Year?” will feature four gaming industry leaders, including legislators from the critical states of New York and Indiana, who will examine the future of this gaming channel – including efforts by sports betting operators who recognize that the ability to engage in both forms of gaming on the same app produces outsized revenues for the operators and the host states. The speakers at this April 19 session are:
- Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr., Chair, New York State Senate’s Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering
- John Connelly, Chief Executive Officer, Interblock
- Senator Jon Ford, Indiana State Senator and President of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States
- Howard Glaser, Global Head of Government Affairs and Legislative Counsel, Light & Wonder
In addition to the igaming session, 10 industry CEOs are scheduled to present their views on current gaming issues at the ECGC. There also will be panel discussions, a networking reception at Hard Rock’s DAER Nightclub and an “Until we Meet Again” reception to conclude the two-day event.
Other panel topics focusing on issues facing the industry include:
- Sports Betting: What’s Next?
- Distributed Gaming: Regulated and Otherwise
- The View from Wall Street
- Gaming’s Omnichannel Future
