EXPEDITE iGAMING?
With legalization of sports betting potentially on the horizon, there are clear implications for internet gaming. The Innovation Group believes that implementation of sports betting could be a catalyst to internet gaming expansion. Not long ago, internet gaming was at the forefront of many people's minds as New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware were the first states to legalize intra-state iGaming. However, a myriad of other gaming topics has taken over the headlines, including sports betting.

VIDEO OF OUR RECENT WEBINAR IS NOW AVAILABLE!
"Evolution of Non-Gaming Amenities"
Comparing gaming properties today to casinos of the past, it is clear that the gaming experience has changed dramatically since casino-style gaming was first introduced in the U.S. Just as gaming devices have evolved, so too has the non-gaming amenity. While some of the first diversified gaming experiences relied on relatively "standard" amenities such as traditional food and beverage outlets and box-style meeting space, gaming
properties can no longer rely on cookie-cutter non-gaming amenities. YWS' Tom Wucherer and Rush Street Gaming's Joe Scibetta joined us as panelists for this one-hour video webinar which explored the evolution of the non-gaming amenity as well as what it takes to differentiate gaming properties and attract new customers.
