Gaming Expansion at G2E

August 23rd, 2007 by Dave

I’ve finally gotten official word today: I’m moderating a panel at this year’s Global Gaming Expo. Here’s the session:

Gaming Expansion: Push and Pull Factors in 2008 and Beyond
Tuesday, November 11, 9:15 AM-10:15 AM
In recent years, gaming expansion has been inconsistent, with dramatic victories in Pennsylvania and Kansas, partial success in Florida, and rejection in Rhode Island. This panel will examine the factors that drive gaming expansion for suppliers, operators and states. In addition to handicapping the chances of continuing expansion, attendees will hear several viewpoints on the ongoing phenomenon.

Should be fun. Optimally, I’d like to have someone on the panel who’s opposed–or at least bearish–on continued expansion, but I’m not sure that someone against gambling expansion would go to a gambling industry conference. Still, I’m looking forward to it, and I encourage you to attend, if you’re going to G2E.
