With Spring just around the corner – and while the world around us faces its share of problems – we have much to be thankful for at Gaming America. Beyond that general sense of excitement, we’d like to welcome you back. Our design team has been hard at work sprucing the place up for you and we hope you like the new look. You have before you our tribal edition, where we take on the issues which define this vital segment of the industry.
The overriding question we have asked is how tribal operators have met the challenge of the rapid rise of commercial gaming in the market. Is it a threat or an opportunity? Unsurprisingly, the answers we received were varied, indicative of an industry that eschews easy characterization. Looking ahead, we have also dedicated a number of pages to looking at the looming battle over sports betting in California. With multiple propositions on the ballot in November, this market could go any number of ways (and in the process, possibly becoming the single largest in the country). Beyond these main focuses, there are a broad range of interviews. Among other fine features, we talk to PointsBet about its drive for inclusion and diversity; we read about esports; and, looking away from the future and toward the past, Oliver Lovat provides a fine historical account of the legendary Mirage casino in Las Vegas.
One final note: at Gaming America, we have taken pains to be sensitive to preferred nomenclature. While in the US, ‘tribal’ is an appropriate word to use when discussing Native North American people, in Canada this word can cause offense. The preferred terms here are ‘Indigenous peoples’ or ‘Indigenous populations.’ We have tried to be sensitive to these distinctions and apologize ahead of time for any offense that may have been caused.
