AGEM RETROSPECTIVE 2015
Gaming / Spectronix; Skip Davis, Gary Platt Manufacturing and Tabitha Jackson, YESCO.
INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS AGEM led an effort with the American Gaming
Association (AGA) to highlight the growing problem of “8-liner” machines in Texas that are often at the center of illegal gambling operations. AGEM also partnered on other issues and events with a wide variety of other industry associations, including the Gaming Standards Association (GSA).
TRADE SHOWS AGEM exhibited at G2E, G2E Asia, ICE and NIGA and
continues to work with trade show organizers around the world on the important topic of maximizing value for exhibitors and attendees.
MEXICO The AGEM Mexico Committee active in Mexico City
grew in influence throughout the year and now is
helping guide the overall gaming discussion as the industry continues to await the passage of a new federal gaming bill designed in part to provide a more stable business environment where operators and suppliers can prosper.
REGULATORY REFORM AGEM has remained focused on improving the overall
regulatory climate for its members, an effort that led to the organization helping shape the discussion this year in more than a dozen U.S. states and multiple foreign countries.
HONORING INDUSTRY LEADERS AGEM announced the creation of the Jens Halle
Memorial Award Honoring Excellence in Commercial Gaming Professionalism and the Peter Mead Memorial Award Honoring Excellence in Gaming Media & Communications. Halle and Mead passed away within weeks of each other, much too young at ages of 57 and 54, respectively.
AGEM has remained committed to the educational component in its mission statement, including funding separate AGEM scholarships at or contributions to the UNLV Lee Business School, Nevada State College, Drexel University, the American Indian College Fund, the Global Gaming Women Charitable Education Fund, Atlantic Cape (N.J.) Community College, the International Center for Excellence in Gaming Regulation at UNLV, Las Vegas Discovery Children’s Museum and Spread the Word Nevada.
Overall, 2015 will rank as AGEM’s most active and effective year to date and we look forward to riding this momentum into 2016 and beyond.
