IAGA Announces 2019 Bybee Scholarship Winners
Both winning papers can be viewed at https://www.theiaga.org/shannon-bybee-scholarship. “This year we received a diverse selection of submissions from law students throughout North America, and this year’s applicants addressed issues ranging from surveillance and pari-mutuel wagering to checks and balances in the video game industry and the normalization of gaming regulations,” commented Jennifer Roberts, Bybee Scholarship Committee Co-Chair and Associate Director of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) International Center for Gaming Regulation. “The Bybee Scholarship is an excellent way to encourage the next generation of gaming industry legal experts to become engaged in critical gaming issues, and we are pleased that we continue to receive such excellent and thought-provoking submissions.” The Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award was established to honor the memory of Shannon Bybee, one of IAGA’s founders who had a distinguished career as a gaming attorney, Nevada regulator, industry executive and pioneer in the field of education in casino operations and gaming law. Inducted into the American Gaming Association’s Hall of Fame in 2002 because of his significant contributions to responsible gaming, Bybee also played an important role in the development of problem gambling regulations and advocacy. This year’s Bybee Scholarship Award was generously sponsored by Everi. Additional information about Everi can be found online at www.everi.com. 2020 Deadline for Submissions Announced |
