Bo Bernhard, executive director of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ International Gaming Institute, will moderate the CEO round-table discussion. The topics will include: United States’ versus Asian markets; gaming expansion versus oversaturated markets; regulations that affect the growth of gaming; and legalised sports betting and fantasy sports.

“Gaming is a quarter-of-a-trillion-[U.S.]dollar industry that is constantly evolving and finding new ways to provide a world-class entertainment experience,” said Geoff Freeman, AGA’s president and CEO, in a statement accompanying the round-table line-up announcement. “We’re thrilled to gather some of the most important voices in gaming for a compelling forum that will shed light on the future of the industry.”
