Keeping up with new technology, gaming innovations and trends
Global gaming options have come a long way from basic three-reel slot machines and table games that didn’t require power: today’s land-based and online casinos offer an increasing number of technology-driven products and services that incorporate state-of-the-art features that are commonplace in other industries. Unfortunately, many of the “cutting edge” innovations that could enhance the gaming experience, provide enhanced player protections or streamline operations run into a wide range of approval challenges. Featuring a wide range of panelists who are involved in driving gaming’s emerging innovations and trends or are responsible for regulating and licensing them, our panel will discuss the current state of technology in the industry and suggest ways that the industry can work together to enhance innovation within current regulatory confines to maintain the required level of supervision and control but at the same time be modern and not stifle progress and innovation.
