Sandoval served as Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission in 2001 when the initial internet gaming bill was passed in that state. Throughout his tenure as the State's Attorney General and on to the Governorship, Sandoval has remained knowledgeable on the topic of iGaming. Given this new foray in to interstate agreements for online poker, Governor Sandoval's remarks will be timely.
In addition, iGNA will feature a session titled: Growing State Pools through Interstate and International Play. Marco Valerio, Editor and Promotions Manager of Global Poker Index, will moderate a panel joined by experts in the field:
•Helene Keeley, State Representative, Delaware's 3rd District
•Mark Lipparelli, Founder, Gioco Ventures
•Violet Anne Golden, Commissioner, Virgin Islands Casino Control Commission
The panel will discuss what it takes for small states and territories to compete and whether compacts are a viable path to building poker liquidity. This session will take place at 9:45 on 19th of March at iGNA.
