The G2E has concluded and the 30,000 attendees have returned to their respective jurisdictions.
The online gaming took center stage as operators and technology providers prepare for the next
frontier. Nevada is clearly the leader in both areas with legislation in place to operate at a state or
federal level. A federal law governing online gaming would generate more revenue and create
more jobs.
The networking and marketing opportunities the G2E provides are,in the words of Mastercard,
"priceless". This is the only time that all these different groups are together under one roof. Ballys
Technologies, IGT and Shuffle Master are prime with the latest product developments.This includes
slots, table games and tech support.
Within 5 years, a $22,000 slot machine could be replaced by an I pad that could produce more
revenue at a fraction of the cost. A dealer could deal to 50 people at one time opposed to 6. The
leaders of the gaming and casino industry that embrace the technological advances will be the
winners. Follow me and I'll keep you abreast of the forthcoming trends.
