Understand how this structure impacts operational cost, slows deployment timelines, and may force selective market entry rather than national scale. 

Moderated by Alon Segev, a Partner with Segev LLC, the panelists include: 

  • Marcus Fruchter, Administrator, Illinois Gaming Board
  • Robert Stoddard, Partner – Tax and US Gaming Practice Tax Lead, KPMG
  • Lorette Tuell, Founder, Tuell Law
