Commenting on the opening day’s activities, Dan Stone, Marketing Manager at Clarion Gaming, said: "Our strap line for GiGse is 'Putting North American gambling, gaming and betting under the microscope’ and the opening day has achieved just that. As an established brand serving the interests of the US facing industry, this year’s edition couldn’t be better placed to discuss opportunities in the market, coming as it does just weeks after the Supreme Court’s decision regarding PASPA."

He continued: "Day 1 delivered an in-depth programme courtesy of a combination of inspiring keynote speakers, engaging panel sessions and interactive workshops. The quality of the debates reflected GiGse’s C-Level profile. It’s also been very encouraging to see the brand dynamics working in tandem with the co-located Juegos Miami and we are excited to see influencers from both working together to push the industry forward."
