Sports-Betting decision-makers to convene at Summer Meeting of Legislators from Gaming States

The NCLGS Summer Meeting is a gaming-related forum offering a nationwide assembly of decision-makers – state legislators – regarding the future of US sports betting. The NCLGS Committee on Emerging Forms of Gaming, chaired by Nevada Assemblyman Keith Pickard, will focus on "Learning from Nevada Sports Betting Model of Regulation." Presenters include:

• Joe Asher, CEO, William Hill US
• Karl Bennison, Chief, Enforcement Division, Nevada Gaming Control Board
• Becky Harris, Chair, Nevada Gaming Control Board
• Art Manteris, Vice President Race & Sports Operations, Station Casinos

"Nevada is the only state that has effectively governed sports betting for many years, in many different types of facilities and in different markets," said Pickard, who represents part of Clark County. "What better way for states preparing for the introduction of regulated sports betting to learn about the Nevada model than to listen directly to a team of experts who live and work in the Silver State?"

Several NCLGS Summer Meeting sessions will examine sports betting from other vantage points as well, including:

• Keynote Address from Casey Schwab, Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs for the NFL Players Association
• NCLGS committees on State-Federal Relations, Casinos, and Lotteries
• International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) Masterclass titled "Legal Implications of the Supreme Court Ruling on Sports Betting"
• IMGL Masterclass titled "State of Online Gaming in the US"

In addition to outstanding networking opportunities with dozens of state legislators and industry professionals, the NCLGS Summer Meeting agenda includes:

• Six legislative committee sessions: Casinos, Emerging Forms of Gaming, Lotteries, Pari-Mutuels, Responsible Gaming, and State-Federal Relations
• Two IMGL Masterclasses
• One special general session panel examining the economic impacts of gaming
• Friday evening welcome reception
• Saturday afternoon tour of Intralot's facility serving the Ohio Lottery
• Optional Saturday night baseball game (via separate registration fee at special group rate): New York Yankees at Cleveland Indians
