The G2E 2024 concluded over two weeks ago but the buzz is still reasonating around the globe.One of the highlights that many of the 25,000 attendees witnessed was the implosion of the Tropicana Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
The largest gaming conference in the world continued to talk about the lastest innovations and ideas. The conference also has taken on advocating for diversity and inclusion. The panel about that discussed Out Executive in Gaming allow for conversation that LGBTQIA professionals could share their journey in the ihe industry. Breaking the Glass Ceiling cannot be done alone - highlighted the sponsors and that mentor and develop friutful relationships with people that merit opportunities but need someone to help them.
The Sports Betting captivation ranged from How a stand alone Sport Betting product is better than you think to the Future of Sports Betting. I want to share a perspective that is centered on what the public has gravitated toward. The business is primarily online.the wagers are largely in game and parlays are the largest source of revenue for the operators. Retail Sportsbooks must look for ways to compete with the Android and Apple users.
AI and Cashless Gaming are realities that the industry must embrace. AI will allow regulators,operators and vendors to incorporate computer science with their current framework. Cashless Gaming will save millions of dollars and expedite transactions between the patrons and the operators.
