Latin American gaming leaders convene at Juegos Miami 2017

During the first day of this year's edition of Juegos Miami, operators, regulators and investors from all over the region- Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Mexico and Brazil- gathered at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables

Discussed topics included a wide range of issues surrounding the industry, such as regulation, iGaming, the impact of "Trump Effect" on the gambling sector and the potential opening of the Brazilian market.

The day offered the same characteristics of last year's event, with panels of debate interspersed with moments of networking. This concept has become a trend that allows regulators, operators and manufacturers to exchange business opportunities.

Commenting on the kick-off of the event, Kate Chambers, Managing Director, Clarion Gaming, said, “The Juegos Miami vision was to create a unique event in order to meet the specific needs of this exciting and dynamic market. Following a history-making launch last year, we have worked in partnership with all of our stakeholders in order to take Juegos Miami on to the next level.

I am delighted to confirm that every metric we use has shown an uplift, with more thought leaders, more influencers and more gaming innovators from more countries supporting us in Miami. Juegos Miami is playing a pivotal role in the development of the gaming industry across Latin America and the Caribbean and I am immensely grateful to all the many individuals and organisations for contributing to this success."
